    Default Is latex slc recommended over water based slc?

    Kitchen floor has 90 % of the bitumen taken up, there`s no loose stuff left and whats left is staying down. The floor is uneven and I will be applying sbr/cement slurry first.

    Should I use a latex slc or will a water based slc be ok. ?

    Thanks

    Thanks

    The substrate is concrete - an old victorian house. Sbr/cement slurry as recommended on here.

    Is mapei renovation flexi? This is proabably what ill use.

    I only asked because I thought I read somewhere on here that it was best to use a latex slc because of its More flexibilty ontop of the small amount of bitumen remains. A kind of belt and braces apporoach? Im guessing it would be an overkill?

    Thanks
