Hello,I owuld appreciate some advice on using tile adhesive for a shower base. The base is to go onto a raised platform of which the top level is backer board (see photo). I've tried using a standard mortar but have had a bit of a mare, so the base had to come up again.

One tradesman suggested using tile adhesive to set the base onto. I used adhesive for 'mconstruting' the platform, but was wondering if anyone as any experience or opinions on using it in place of mortar to set a base into?

Many thanks,

It's a stone resin base. The mortar wasn't adhering very well to the base and the base moved on the mortar after it had dried.

Thanks for your comment. Is there any reason not to use tile adhesive? I used adhesive to make the rest of the platform (see photos) and it has served well. The raised base is over an underfloor heated floor too.

Cheers again.
