installing shower pan

Never installed shower pan - any help or tips would be great

what size spacers should we use when grouting slate for shower tile?

Should we glue the pan to our 1 1/2 inches of plywood subfloor?

what type of material do we use over the pan (mortor, concrete, etc.)

what are the min thickness that can be applied for slope?

For shower bench seat - I am assuming I can't fasten durock board to bench - therefore should I trowel mortor mixture to pan of bench seat then apply tiles?

Thank you, Polly

Thanks very much for the links. I searched and found them. I'm currently doing an installation now. I've been working on it for some time now. I will only add one bit of info.

Check out a book called "Setting Tile" by Michael Byrne. Get the revised and updated version. There is a lot of good info in there to.

Expanding Formica Countertop

The corner of my countertop is expanding. How can I fix this? I thought about removing some of the excess particle board, fill with Liquid Nail and then press close. Any ideas?

Water stains in tile shower

I have a white tile shower. The water in my area has some mineral that turns the grout reddish brown. Where I used to live in another town, the same thing happened but the stains were blue. Do you know of a cleaner that will remove the discoloration?
