What to bed slats down on?

[Fergieman]

Got a few wonky slat gangs in the slatted passageways. They are bedded down on a sand/cement compo mix. Have re bedded some over the years but they end up wobbly again. Have been told to bed them on strips of celotex board. Anyone ever done this or used anything other than compo?

Celotex is thermal insulation boards, would it just go to mush?

Ours were on compo & been OK
Bloke in our shed one day saying he had used a rubber strip. Sorry no idea of size or spec.
Maybe Email a few slat makers & see what they say

Ours are all on what we call fibreboard take it that’s what you mean by celotex.

12, 20 or 25mm seem to be the options.
