    Default putting slc down

    hi all, i'm putting some slc down tomo in a bathroom, only small but i was just wondering if anyone had any tricks to stop it running to places that you dont want. Thing is the soil pipe for toilet is sank in the floor with about 10mm gap round and i dont want the slc to run down there, also where the door is the nice clean carpet starts and i dont want it to touch that. Just thought there might be some little tips for stopping things like that, cheers!!

    You could put some cardboard around the soil pipe.

    You might find something like "Plumbers Mate" will do the job. Non setting allows high build up and re-usable. Easier to clean up after too
