I want to use BAL Arcybase to level out our bathroom floor. It's fairly flat to start with, and the Arcybase will be 2mm to 4mm in thickness. There two or three different areas where old adhesive has been removed, where the bath used to be, and where the concrete has been damaged over the years.
The instructions say to pour the mix out and spread it with a trowel. I'm concerned that this is a bit like plastering - and my plastering isn't very flat or smooth! Does anyone have any suggestions how to get it level? The room is 2m x 2m - not too big, but sufficiently big that I won't be able to reach the far wall from the doorway when it's all poured out. There's talk of "self levelling" but if it's that runny then surely it wouldn't need trowelling? I contemplated burrying battens in it but at 2 to 4mm thickness they'll be hard to make and fit. Then I'd need a second mix to fill in the gaps afterwards.
So - I'd appreciate any advise from people who have used this product? Am I worrying over nothing? How is best to get a smooth and level base?
