I saw a guy that hard a 55 gallon drum mounted to a roll around. The drum had a 2" valve on the bottom. He would mix his self leveler in the drum, open the valve, and wheel the drum around. I thought that was a good idea!

Mike, is it possible to use self leveling mix to repair an area that has a 6” swell? I recently mud jacked my shop but ended up with a pretty big dip in the floor. The area for leveling is approximately 20’x30’. This all tappers down to the 6” in the center. Or would you suggest some other method. Thanks, Gary

I don't know anything about concrete so i wanted ask, when prepping a floor for this self leveling is there any sort of chemical adhesive/bond that needs to be applied before the self level concrete is poured? Or would it just be a general grinding, sanding, cleaning of the top layer of the original floor?

There’s a primer you can get at any major home improvement place. It helps the new stuff adhere. It isn’t required but helps with the thinner sections of new concrete, helps avoid separating

@philindeblanc 2 жыл бұрын

likely ArdeK, but he can say....there are a number of great products. What is sad is that many guys take advantage of the homeowner and charge a crap load of money for doing this. While the product is more pricey than concrete, instead of costing 5$ a sqft, they charge 12, 15, to 20 per sq ft!!! For the 20, you do get a polish 2 coat process, but not needed in most cases, or the finish look you want. Some products are more cementacious, vs others more poly. Can look great, but high quality large format Italian floor tile installed is much cheaper at the crazy prices some want to charge.

Why need the reference screws if this stuff is self leveling?

@ApprenticeGM Күн бұрын

It's "mostly self levelling" lol :) It's a higher viscosity than water, so there is still lateral resistance. So you could pour a whole room but end up with slight level differences - like a very slight wave effect. Having reference screws allows you to get it more exact and make the wave extremely slight, a good operator can get it to under a mm, which is usually good enough for flooring. There's another product you can use that's similar but much less viscous, and it evaporates / soaks in leaving the solid behind, like mud, which you can do multiple applications of, but it's time consuming.

@Mad.Man.Marine 2 жыл бұрын

Question. If it’s “self leveling”. Why do you need screws? If the product works as advertised. Shouldn’t it just flow out to level on its own?

@MikeDayConcrete 2 жыл бұрын

They're all like this. Still good to have a reference to go by. This stuff is expensive so you want to get it right the first time. All materials have some type of surface tension, even water doesn't completely self level.
