Yours is the first video from a master craftsman using leveler .... thanks

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Thanks for your comment!

[@magnumtileinc.5771]

Great job! Why do you roll the mixture? Thank you

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi, good question, the self-leveling compound need roll it out with spike roller for removing air bubbles and spread it making more even. Thanks for watching!

[@steven-ui7sz]

Thanks for the video. Can you tell us how many bags (and their size) that you used in this video? Also, I read in a comment below that you cannot screw or nail into this? After I level my floor I want to install a red oak floor with a pneumatic nailer - do you know if there is a leveling compound I could use that would let me do this?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi Steven, here is the method for your type installation - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4HSqINpl8qta6M

Great job You are excellent builder. Mikhail from Scotland

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Thanks!

[@91gsixty]

Awesome job. Didn't use straightedge this time. Question--What if you are only patching low areas, would you still use leveling or patch compound?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi Jeff, Job price based on how much material , labor cost per hour and time. In this video example this 3 parts reasonable. If you will patching this floor - material price maybe less but labor and time much be more. For my 15 years experiences I did many different ways. This is final and I offer for you just do it, don't spend time for research. Thanks

[@double_j3867]

Your videos are really great. I had a question though -- i read the instructions for levelquick RS and it states you need to do a water proofing membrane before applying the primer for OSB floors. And for either OSB or plywood you should put down metal lath/mesh across the floor.....what are your thoughts on that? If that is done then it requires a 1/2" thickness minimum?? Thanks!

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi John, I don't have experience with OSB leveling. Follow the instruction on the bag, or call to free phone line for support. Thanks!

[@bxblack]

Beautiful work.. The videos are amazing..I've been watching them all

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Glad you like them!

[@scubaseppy]

How thick can you lay this. My floor is out about 3/4” bowed into the middle. Also do you ever worry about adding a lot of weight to the floor?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi, have a look at this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3TOZ615g8-mh6c Also use plywood to fix as much as you can, like here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4HSqINpl8qta6M and then smooth it out with compound if need it. Thanks.

[@norrisluke63]

After leveling concreet how soon can you apply adhesive

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

I am using a moisture meter. Each leveling is different. If no more than 1/4” - I can do application on next day, If more, need to check.

[@alexeybabichev2305]

Thank you! You are doing so much to bring this info to the public. One question: I can see that almost in every video you use Mapei Novoplan 2 Plus leveler but I cannot find it anywhere in the area I live. Almost every hardware store carry only "MAPEI Self Leveler Plus". Do you know any differences in these types of levelers? In my case I'm doing leveling on plywood subfloor.

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Алексей, где ты живешь?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

для разных стран, а также для частного и коммерческого использования материалам меняют названия. Но суть остается одна.

Nice work. I really appreciate that your video got right down to work without 30 minutes of mind numbing babble! Great job on the floor leveling but especially for the video! What type of broom were you using?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi, I used regular rubber floor squeegee . Thanks

[@66Pipes66]

Out of all your films this one is helping me the most. A previous failed attempt by a contractor is giving me concerns. He poured it in hot weather and spent too long trowelling and didn’t use a spiked roller, now the floor is uneven and has “waves” all over,averaging 10mm difference. I don’t want to remove what he did as it is more level than when he started. I can’t use straight edges on the sides and I don’t have tripods either so I’m going to screw/glue wooden packers to the floor after I figure out the height differences with a laser level. I plan on pouring the approximate amounts in each area then giving it a quick trowel round before quickly going over the lot with a spiked roller. Am I setting about it the right way? Greta films by the way 👏👍

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hello my friend, it's hard to tell you what need to do, I have to see it. Can you send me pictures on Facebook page, you can find link in description. Thanks

[@JudiChristopher]

I love your videos... what could make them even better is have CC (closed caption) too. Some times I miss a few words of what you're saying because of background noises. Thank you for sharing your great videos.

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi Judi, thanks for your comment!

[@КонстантинЧернов-о7з]

Желаю Вам здравствовать! Здорово! Полезная информация и визуально доходчиво. А чем объясните выбор в пользу Mapei ?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Привет Константин, спасибо за хороший комментарий. Выбор этого материала опредиляет цена и качество. Ardex и другие - то цена большая то растекается не очень. Этот уже отработан до мелочей.

[@jonathancowdin3775]

What do you do if you get stuck with leveler that's been mixed and you don't need

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

If I have some left over, I put empty bag from slc in the basket and then put slc to this bag. Next day dump it.

[@Jaylowrider]

Try using bloomed tip broom to spread primer over wood substrate

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

I did, my method I like more.

[@Jaylowrider]

@@MrYoucandoityourself yeah broom seams to work primer in better for wood substrate, roller for concrete. Anyways, thanks for all your videos, I ordered the tripods from you and I will receive today 😁

@@MrYoucandoityourself we are just starting to do floor levelling in house instead of contracting. Good to see your methodology and the tools you use. Problem we have is the lack of floor levelling tools at a reasonable price - being located in NZ.

You missed a step prior to priming... Otherwise final levels look great...

Hi, I have many videos how to apply primer, and I thought it’s not important, sorry.

[@JudiChristopher]

When you tell someone that "missed a step"... Please explain WHY/HOW they did this. Thank you.

[@jmaclicious10]

400$ for tripods vs 10$ for a pack of screws that can be drilled into the subfloor to get your height.. then just cover the tops with self levelling and you know you'll be level :D

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Good for you, keep going! Thanks for commenting!

[@VancouverIslandKayakFishing]

What about concrete subfloors? They are a cool idea but it’s not about getting it level, it’s about getting it flat over 10ft. I poured 34 bags today and it’s perfect for my flooring but if I used these I think I would have poured double the amount And the customer would have got someone else to do it for half the cost.

[@fef777777]
