Hi, guys. I am part way through laying 14mm engineered flooring over a pretty rough and uneven mixed concrete/wood floor. I have consciously NOT done this the "right" way (e.g. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/...neven-wooden-subfloor-or-concrete-wood.77960/) and am just sticking it down as best I can. The floor is pretty uneven, but at least sound, and I'm using weights and straps etc. It seems to be OK for now.

Logistically, time-wise and financially it's just not feasible for me to put down ply, screed, etc. So, given this situation, do you guys have any favourite adhesives? I have used most of a tub of SikaBond MS Wood Floor Adhesive already, and I'm wondering if there is something better. It was meant to cover the whole area but I will need several more containers.

It's alright - pretty stiff to spread and sadly a couple of cm of skin on the 2nd day despite my efforts to seal it. I wonder if it came to me partly cured. I can't find a video of this specific product but videos of different adhesives show them being MUCH more fluid than this.

Since I have to more containers anyway, would anyone like to recommend a different adhesive or should I stick to this one? Something suitable for wood and concrete.
 
Despite hammering the lid down yesterday, and wrapping the whole thing in a bag, I found another 2cm of skin on this product today! Really bad.
