concrete floor prep and SLC prep

[nybor62]

primer g is good by mapei. i tend to mix it with a bit more water than it states on bag you usually put 5 litres of water i would use a little bit more so it runs nice and free

just 2 elaborate when mixing the slc i usually add extra water above the usual 5 litre standard amount i find it runs alot better . primer g comes in a blue bottle and is made by mapei .hope that clear things up

hi roger

how long has the concrete been down???
if its a while, then it will be very dry and very porous too!!
give it a quick scrape if there are any high spots and a good brush...sprinkle some water down too to grab the dust and put a bit of moisture into it (only if its not recently laid )
i would use sbr to prime and then hit it with your slc
mix it in a gorilla tub and pour ...dont hang about too much, pour spread out with a trowel or squeegee etc and when you have done a section use a spiked roller to take any air bubbles out.....then onto the next section till done

you can pick a cheap spiked roller up from ebay for around £19-00
make the mix so it runs easily, let it do the work if you get my point

Try and stick to the manufacturers mixing instructions, if anything ever goes wrong at least you can be sure you did everything right.
I mark my buckets with a line to show how much water is needed.

I mix with 5 litre water, then help flow with feather edge.

cool i'll get a roller ordered or see if i can pick one up at Tile Giant when i'm up there.
the concrete has been down as long as the house has been built so about 60 years lol.
so use SBR to prime the floor, pour the SLC then prime that with PRIMER G then?
