I have a couple of local tile shops but they don't sell mapei etc.

I get confused very easily with acrylic primers/ SBR/ diff adhesives etc

Local shops sell Larson and Dunlop adhesives and arc highbuild self level

I got this at the weekend from the local shop to build up a floor where the fireplace hearth was removed and the floor was low.

This was a mix with water only, the floor was going to be laminated flooring so wasn't as worried tbh

Would it be suitable for the porch before tiling?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

If the floor was good enough for vinyl why are you thinking of a self levelling compound?

 

[STEvieXE]

Too try and kill the vinyl adhesive that I can't remove easily. From past experience I had a nitemare with it and was hoping self level would be an easy solution to that

I'm very open to advice/ criticism!!

Any TWO part leveller will do the job so long as you don't exceed the recommend depth

OK so removed as much glue as poss, SBR n self level with local suppliers two part lebveller.

Then SBR again?

Do I need a flexible adhesive ?

You shouldn't need to prime again and for all the difference in cost for the size of this job you'd be better to get flexible adhesive

Vinyl adhesive can cause problems for the tile adhesives that I sell personally so can't comment as to the OP's choice. But from hearsay, vinyl can be a nightmare once it's removed. If you ever get the chance, ring BAL or Maipei and they can explain all the in's and out's a lot better.
