Hey when bedding a shower tray on sand and cement do people tend to smooth out the mortar before placing the tray on it. Or leave the mortar a similar way to what bricklayers do, so once the trays pressed down it will smooth out.

Leave it rough,so the mortar can bond and also push into all the crevices
What type of floor are you laying the mortar bed on?
SBR bond is ideal as a primer for concrete,screed or timber
I did not learn my plumbing or bathroom fitting skills via YOUTUBE or Google
Leave it little ruff and push the tray down use a level to check it,this will help it to get into all the voids in the tray
Good luck

I agree with Hippyplumber.
I've used PVA in the past on wood floors. Then 4:1 mix fairly soft so the tray sits right down into it. Normally use Mira Flight trays now though, they just go down on a bed of silicone, which is a lot less hassle.......
