1. Unscrew
threaded drain riser and position center ring on top of flange adaptor
bolts with the float stick socket openings pointing Up. |

float sticks and cut to desired length or add extended float sticks as
needed. Insert the male tab on narrow end of float sticks into the
selected female socket of center ring so that top of float stick and
center ring are flush. |

in place. |

4. Mix the dry
ingredients of your mud (1 part Portland cement and 4 parts sand) with
your shovel or trowel. Add enough water to the dry admix (or premix) to
bring this floor floating material to the consistency of a compact
snowball. |

5. Starting
with the area farthest from your exit, spread your moistened add mix one
section at a time. Slightly over-fill the section and spread the mud
with your trowel or screed stick by dragging it along the top surface of
the float sticks. Tamp-down or lightly compact the mud with your trowel. |

6. After tamping and compacting,
use your sponge to sprinkle a small amount of water over the
entire surface. (photos left and below) |
