    How Much SLC do you think I need

    Can I use a fast set to level off then use normal set top of that. It will be tilemaser stuff that says upto 12mm so on the level side it will be whatever a 10mm trowel creates but on the lower side it will be 10mm Plus the trowel depth. So if the fast set has gone off a little does that count...

    How Much SLC do you think I need

    Hmm maybe sand and cement for the thicker deeper bits and the SLC from then to the feather. I did notice when cleaning lots of cotton wool type filaments. I think you can get that for normal cement. Because I messed around with it I had some areas that I needed to take down which are now a bit...

    How Much SLC do you think I need

Next time if I nned to go so deep I will be...

    How Much SLC do you think I need

    I have an outside area to level up and think I will be using Mapei P4, the area is 2.8 long x 1.3 wide and the lowest side is 18mm too low along the 2.8 length rising to a feather at the 1.3 wide mark. How many bags do you think I will need please.
