Help, I think we have messed up. And reading lots of past posts on the subject has not made me optimistic.
Substrate is thermal aquafloor panels then heating mat. Used Febflor latex self levelling compound, mixed as per instructions with an electric whisk, in batches (one bag powder with one 5l liquid). Laid to depth of 5mm - 10mm. Work done by a bricklayer but it is now evident (reading Mattysupra's posts) he didn't really know what he was doing.
Much of the floor is fine but there are three areas for concern.
1 - in the last square metre, in front of the doorway where there will be lots of traffic, the level rises up like a low hill.
Question is - when is the best time to start attacking this. Previous posts suggest using a brick to file it down. Best to wait till it has gone off, or start ASAP?
2 - one area taking ages to go off. Despite mixing instructions the mix was much runnier. Do we just wait and hope? Sprinkle some dry stuff on top?
3 - lino layers arriving on Monday morning. Latex went down Thursday afternoon. Should we be waiting longer?
Please help. I am really bothered. So far the whole conversion (of coalbunker and shed to kitchen extension) has gone really smoothly but this has given me a sleepless night.
Thanks
Mary
