    you HAVE to use a flexi slc over u/floor for expansion and contraction!!!

    not all say flexi....some say polymer modified....

    but if you use a standard SLC (from wikes maybe) then it will not be suitable for u/floor....just for leveling concrete...

    make sure it says suitable for u/floor on the bag!

    heres the thing.... i am pretty sure that from a concrete floor you can use any powdered adhesive to stick dietra, cementboard etc....
    its what happens after that, that counts....me i only ever use flexi....on everything!

    it may cost a few quid more, but no complaints or faliures as of yet!.......fingers crossed!
