    Default SLC on Ditra? Yay or nay?

    Got into a bathroom, builders done the prep and the floor is well out of level, high point in the middle running out to the edges. So can you slc the ditra? Or will it produce a cold joint and defeat the object?

    SLC over the top is fine as long as the SLC is suitable
