Thank you for your great videos. I bought the lazer level you recommended in a previous video. It has a lazer on the bottom which makes finding the high spots much easier. I do not have the tripods but I saw another video where the guy put one screws in around the room at proper depth then filled until it was at the level i think i will try it.

I have a slight slope at one end of my room should I put a thick plywood at that end of the room or just stick with 6mm for the whole project and let the self levelling compound do it’s job? Also is a spike roller enough to spread the compound out Level or would I need a long straight edge?

Hello Carl, it’s hard to understand what the best way in your project. If your subfloor all the way slightly slope down , you can use tripods make level not all the way, just to that point where it start slope. And next day make final connection compound and wood subfloor with straight edge.

Can this be left as a finished floor, I like the look...and I plan to do this on a concrete foundation...Since I like this color of self level, I prefer to use this brand model of concrete...I do like the troweled look, so maybe it takes on if I trowel a little. Are there any additives I can put to give it more strength? I know in regular concrete they put fiber, but is there anything for this leveling? Also, do you recommend using mesh over the crack areas, in case this helps the top layer flex vs crack at the same spot?.

I have a tile job over OSB and need to pour a skim coat over the entire floor. "The last person put grout directly on the OSB and I gouged it taking up the old tile." I have cleaned and stripped the floor. Also screwed down and sealed everything. Today I applied Primer T over the floor but, Did Not Dilute the primer. I'm waiting till tomorrow for it to dry and pour the leveler. I'm wondering if I've messed up by not diluting the Primer T? Do you think the OSB will absorb enough undiluted primer for the leveler to stay put or will the leveler just crack and come up?

Hey, thank you for all your videos! They've very professional and informative. I know that they take a great deal of time to make and we all appreciate them. I have a question regarding sealing the perimeter of a room. I took my walls down to the studs and put up new vapour barrier, along with a new 3/4" OSB sub-floor overtop of the old shiplap. There is a slight gap between the vapour barrier and the new sub-floor I was planning to fill with cement prior to self leveling. This would effectively seal the bottom of my barrier and the potential leak points in the old sub-floor in one step. How important is the foam edge acting as an expansion gap? Since my edges will be completely sealed by vapour barrier buried in cement. It seems easier to trowel in cement rather than go around filling every little crack with caulk

Good to see you putting out more videos thank you for that. Question: what are you doing with the spiked roller when you are tapping the floor with it in some areas?
@MrYoucandoityourself
@MrYoucandoityourself 3 жыл бұрын
Hi, very good question! Spike roller can roll if not more than 3/4" deep. If it's more I am doing tapping to create waves which made flattening of liquid. Thanks!

Thank you for how much you help us DIYers out here! I am considering self levelling. I have dips and waves all over my chipboard floor, the deepest being 17mm. In one spot the floor bounces by 1-2mm where some boards meet, but can’t get to the underneath and don’t to take up as it may weaken the surrounding boards. Not sure if this means I can’t use leveller. Wondered whether laying a thicker ply, say 12mm would give the floor more rigidity to then level, but not sure how a thicker ply will behave being screwed over the bumps in the floor?

If your floor bounces, follow old nails or screw lines to put new screws to push you floor down. If there some empty spots where is plywood joint, need to cut som square hole for checking support underneath. Do you have stud checker?
