    self levelling not drying after a week in patches

    Wow that looks amazing - just what we're after :). Will check out the ardex CL. Given that the floor is also not flat/level it might be the ticket for a final layer to smooth things out - anything close to that photo would be a dream result right now! We're monitoring it now, some larger...

    self levelling not drying after a week in patches

    Sorry if this question has been posted before - I couldn't find the answer to our particular situation.. Our builder put down self levelling compound over concrete and some pipes. In patches it's not dried after over a week with dark patches and 40% on the moisture meter. I think under it...
