    Default Leveling compound advice

    Just a couple of questions regarding SLC Firstly is it ok to use on plywood, Ie an upstairs bathroom where the tiles have been lifted and the remaining addy has left the floor bumpy and secondly how would i go about sealing any gaps in the ply to make sure it doesnt leak out of the bathroom to the room below, I'm talking about holes for rad pipes etc. Any advice wuold be much appreciated guys

    You can use an SLC for your requirements, just make sure its flexible and that you have prepped the floor correctly. I would use Mapei fibreplan.
    Fill any holes with silicone prior to laying.

    Best to remove as much adhesive as you can first and try to find Mapei renovation screed SLC.. as good as fibre plan but half the price.
