I know it is a thick question but I am clearly too thick to be able to do this simple job properly.
I am in the process of laying a new wooden floor throughout the ground floor of my house. In the summer I did the hallway, the area by the front door was very unlevel and dipped downwards towards the door. I used Wickes Self levelling latex stuff and followed the instructions to the letter. The result was more level but still not spot on. It took 2 coats to get the level right on only a small space. I mixed the stuff correctly, then trowelled it over the necessary area.
In the near future I am going to have to do the lounge, it has a similar issue, generally uneven floor, bit like waves! How do you get a good flat result with self levelling compound i.i.
What should the ideal mix look like, what do you do to make it self level properly?
Thanks
Andy
