    Rubber liner shower base
    I was woundering if anyone knew how to seal a rubber liner to the drainer strainer of a tile shower. Is there a special glue or silicone you must use to adhese the to together before you tighten the bolts down.

    You do not use any sealant on a shower pan. You just tighten the bolts on the flange type shower drain, (see image). If you're doing your own tile work be very careful not to let the mortar clog up the weep holes in the flange.
    Good luck, Tom
