Most tubs are cracked from front to back along supports built into the fiberglass bottom. See RED arrows above.

 

Some tubs may be cracked in several places where the supports are build into the bottom.

 

IMPORTANT: ALL WATER MUST BE REMOVED FROM CRACKS OR HOLES.  USE A WET DRY VACUUM TO REMOVE ALL WATER FROM VOIDS.

IF NECESSARY DRILL SEVERAL 1/4 HOLES A FEW INCHES FROM AND ALONG THE CRACK TO PERMIT AIR TO ENTER VOID AROUND CRACK SO WATER CAN BE VACUUMED OUT.
