    Default SLC onto plywood

    Hi is the above possible in the following situation:

    Want to remove old tiles that were put down on 15mm plywood which i believe were screwed down every 6 to 8 inches onto floorboards. Don't think the customer wants the ply lifted incase it wrecks the floor underneath. So would it be possible to just lift the tiles, put down a slc and re-tile? If so what slc to use, BAL Multibase/ Acrybase?

    I've used slc's on concrete floors but to be honest was not sure if they can be used on ply when tiling (thought this was for soft floor coverings only).

    Thanks..

    taking up the tiles will probably lead to quite a bit of delamination on our ply, (where do you get 15mm ply from?),In theory tho' it's fine, as long as your ply remains sound. I'd use a two part slc tho

    Ardex Arditex, 2 part, but IMO hard to use if not used to SLC's.

    Just had the weber rep in with a new flexi leveller, got fibres in it for reinforcement, suppose to be the dogs danglers of levellers, easy to apply and good self levelling properties
