Hi, this material gets harder after 30-40 minutes if you’re using cold water. If you’re not familiar with leveling and need more time for finish work, use a Mapei Novoplan SP, you will get extra around 20 minutes.

Yes 👍

In my view, the grinder is superior because there’s significant chipping on the plywood, along with nails, screws, and staples. It's quite easy to damage sandpaper when using the belt sander. When I use a turbo blade, I can prepare the subfloor quickly and at a lower cost! - Turbo blade grinding wheel 7 inch - amzn.to/3XOeVj4 - Dewalt angle grinder 7 inch - amzn.to/3F8jZY6 - Dust Shroud for 7 Inch Angle Grinder - amzn.to/3OGatP0

@ hey thanks for your reply! I’ll check out those links. It’s greatly appreciated my friend. 😊

@@ianmclean5541 No problem!

Yes, this method is for making a small region flat.

Thanks for your comment!

Now you know my secret 🤫

I don’t know any one in this area. Sorry.

Hi, good question. It is not so simple to apply a self-levelling compound. Need to remove all debris with a grinder, fill up all cracks, and then put primer and a skim coat of compound. After need, put silicone on top for water resistance. Also, it should be warm inside the garage, or the self-levelling compound will not dry properly. Also, here is another method, it's not my project, but maybe it will help you to get design - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYu3dYx6j9iMfJo

Every application of self leveling compound needs to put primer.

You must use this acrylic for peel and stick - Mapei SM primer.

Thanks for your comment! Happy New Year!

I am using regular acrylic white caulk.

Very interesting.

I am using only Mapei products for leveling. Very important primer or other product for better bonding wood subfloor with self leveling compound. Mapei give it for us and this material easy to use. Also price reasonable. For bonding self leveling compound I am using primer T or planipatch with planipatch acrylic. After this application you can use any Mapei self leveling compound. Last few jobs I used Mapei Novoplan SP.

I am using pin nails only.

Oh I see. Will try that. Thank you!

You’re welcome!

Thanks!🙏

You’re welcome!

Merry Christmas!

Very easy - I am not doing floor installation without leveling.

There’s a button on the laser. I showed it on the video. Check it out, please. Thanks

Благодарю!

Good for you!

Thanks a lot! 😍😍😍

Thanks for your comment. I will do.

Thanks 🙏

Hi, I used 1/4". STC(sound transition class) rating 66-68 Db. Most of the restrictions on sound protection are within this rate. Thanks!

@@MrYoucandoityourself Hi I got further question, for height control I need to use 1/2 inch cork mat. Just being afraid that when heavy loads sit on the mat it will "sink" or generate pit permanently. In your opinion, will that happen if mat has reliable quality?

Hi, 3-5 hours prep and 30-40 min leveling.

I am not a promoter of Mapei. I just shared my experience using this product.

@ I hope one day they will reach out to you because of you mapei is all I use. I’ve done 4 pours already and am about to do my 5th

My English not so well for presenting Mapei.

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!
