Gluing down a new platic shower tray.

Got given a shower to install by a client. I think it has been laying around for a while. There was no glue with it. What is the best glue to use on the tray?
I was thinking of 3 in1 silicon ? What do you think?

Do you mean to bed the tray to the floor for support? Something that sets hard like Liquidnails. Big blobs where the "feet" are under the tray, set the tray into it and leave overnight at least to cure.

A plastic shower tray should be sitting on a custom molded polystyrene tray of it's own shape other wise you get creaking & pressure point problems causing cracking.

If it's a perfectly flat tray, then you need a perfectly flat floor & a thin soft mat suited for underneath the tray.

Plastic gets very unforgiving after a few years of being walked on & cracks.

If your using polystyrene sheet as base under the tray dont use a solvent based adhesive it will disolve it . There is stuff called styrobond for that
