under the base to provide maximum support and even weight distribution. Do not use foam, sand or drywall mud. When
leveling, prepare a bed of moist mortar in the area where bath is to be installed. Place equally spaced mounds of bedding
compound, about one foot apart, 2” to 4” tall - this should be about the diameter of a three-pound coffee tin (8”-10”). When the
bottom of the tub comes in contact with the bedding compound, it should compress the mounds to a 1” to 3” layer while the
tub should lightly rest on to
