    Silicone or cement mix to lay shower tray

    I’m laying down a 1200 x 760 stone resin on a floor that isn’t level. Manufacture instructions recommend a cement mix or silicone. Silicone seems like the simpler option but can this be used to level a shower tray? Or would a sand cement mix be better for this?

    Shower tray isn't flat

    I’ve recently purchased a shower tray, and I noticed that the middle is slightly raised when I check it with a spirit level. Are the edges of a shower tray supposed to be completely flat, or is this normal? Should I be concerned about this affecting installation or water drainage?
