Slc
Hi guys, got my first paying job this week, kitchen floor. It's on a slight slope but the customer doesn't want me to level it off. The problem is that at the top of the slope there is a sharp drop of about 10mm but not all the way across the room. Having never used slc before how deep can i use it or will i have to use something else to get the floor flat for tiling?
How easy or hard is it to use?
Also do i use primer on the floor before the slc or before the tile or both?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Slc
can you not feather the sharp drop off with rapid set adhesive, also,as Whitebeam asks, what's the substrate?

Re: Slc
if the floor is concrete give it a good brush then use a diluted primer to make sure the adhesive sticks to the concrete,personally i would use some rapid set to level of the 10mm dip in the floor
