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?

What type of floor is it? If concrete I would self level first. If not then I level it out with board and packers.

Makes it so much easier to DIY lay and level the tray out properly, if the floor is level to start with.

If it's going on marine plywood then I'd level that out first, then it'll be dead easy and then a silicone adhesive can be used to bed it on, with silicone sealant around the wall contact edges.
