Help! New DIYer here - I’m preparing my bathroom floor to lay ceramic tile. Removed the vinyl flooring to reveal cement which needed leveling. I was planning on first priming the concrete, pouring concrete leveler, pouring Mapai aqua defense crack isolation membrane, then tiling.

However i apparently forgot my plan (doing this late at night) and poured the crack isolation membrane directly to the concrete subfloor prior to concrete leveling instead of the dedicated concrete leveler.

How much trouble am I in? Will this cause any issues? Can I continue to move forward with the leveler?

Might be helpful to know my house is on a concrete slab and in Florida (humid).

Thanks!!

Remove the Mapei slurry kit then reprime if needed, follow up with the leveling. I would use uncoupling membrane Ditra Matting or DURALDurabase CI++etc. instead of Mapei slurry kit.
