    Bitumen DPM + self levelling compound, will it stick?

    Hi I've tried to find the answer to this everywhere but seem to get conflicting views. I have an old concrete subfloor which is a little damp so have covered with Wickes liquid dpm which is bitumen-based. But I now need to level this before tiling but don't have much height to play with -...
