In this step, apply the adhesive to the flat floor area and fill
the boxed area around the drain pipe with the Thin-Set
mortar.
After the adhesive is troweled over the sub floor, use a
spatula to wipe the adhesive over the entire area where the
pan will sit.
The exception will be the drain box area. This area will be
filled with thin-set non shrink mortar. Do not fill this area
above the floor line and do not spill any of this thin-set
material onto the contact adhesive.

Figure 12
To secure the shower pan to the floor a solid wood
floor adhesive must be applied to the entire sub floor
area where the shower pan will rest.
Using a 1/2” notched trowel, apply adhesive evenly over the
pan contact area. Bring the adhesive up to the threshold
pencil mark and also make sure the adhesive will be in
contact with the back side of the pan. The long edge of the
trowel may be needed to get the adhesive to the far back of
the contact area where the pan is resting against the framing
studs in a vertical position.
