[QUOTE="RWB, post: 756430"] Hi all, I've been reading all your helpful advice to everyone, so after tearing my hair out for most of the day thought I would sign up. Please could someone clarify if I should've used Cementone SBR on top of a self levelling latex floor compound. I originally stripped the old kitchen floor and all signs of adhesive etc. I then used SBR to prime and seal before applying the self levelling compound. This was down for a week and got a little dusty etc, so I decided to prime with SBR again. My initial reason for doing this was to stop the water getting sucked out of the adhesive (probably a stupid reason I guess). I used a 1 part water, 1 part SBR mix. The issue I have is that some areas seem to have formed a skin. Not massive areas, just the odd 3 or 4 inch patch here and there. I'm wondering if I shouldn't have used the SBR, or whether my mix was not diluted enough, thus leaving me with a bit of rubberising here and there due to it not sinking in. I plan to use a cement based adhesive over this, but am now worried as to whether I should try and remove the SBR, or maybe pour more self leveller over it and then tile directly onto that. sorry for the immediate request for advice. I'm just at a loss as to what to do. cheers Rich [/QUOTE]
