    Default Self leveller?

    Hi,
    I have been doing a recce of the floor I will soon bs tiling. I need to use self leveller. Around the radiator pipes there is a 10mm gap with foam with gaps around it. How do I stop the leveller from going into these gaps as I assume it will affect the leveller?
    Thanks

    Stick some tape around the pipe if it's copper, slc is cement based and can eventually eat at it the pipe...

    i use aluminium tape to stop the slc from running away, e.g. under the bath or past the threshold.

    Yeah cover the pipe. Cement corrodes copper so that's a start. For the gap run a bead around it or fill it first.
