Ah buggar! All shops around here seem to mainly stock Dunlop adhesives.

I can get a limited range of mapei which I used the last time but it's a long journey to get. Keraflex I used before which tbh was nice to use in my limited experience!

Maybe I should make the trip to get mapei again and then primer g would be suitable too?

Dunlop is alright gear, it's under the BAL umbrella. Basically BAL gear for the diy market. Don't think they do a 2part slc but their leveller flows quite nice. Using Dunlop you could do as you suggested yourself, mix a slurry coat and level over that. Once the leveller is dry you could prime before fixing but isn't strictly necessary, though if you're using a fast set you'll find it gives you a little more adjustment time. Agree with comment re Larsen, used it once and swore never again.

The dunlop leveller isn't great when compared to the mapei renovation screed in terms of self levelling capabilities, I would take the extra time and get to armatile and buy the mapei

Ballymoney! There's two tile shops local to me that sell dunlop. When I got mapei gear before I got it in armatile on Boucher.
Your bound to be about Belfast now and again. In the scheme of things it's well worth the trip, just phone them and make sure they have the renovation screed there for you, as Gary says it's a super leveller

You need to deal with the carpet glue first have you got rid of it? You can alway grind it back with a diamond cup wheel as the renovation screed is not 2 part only water based and won't go straight over vinyl adhesive

Is there a F.Ball and co supplier near you ? Most carpet and flooring places use their products and some of their levellers are designed to go over carpet clue residue it may save you a trip
