[QUOTE="Hexagon, post: 515867"] Howdy all. Wonder if you can help with a question about sealing a DIY SLC job before tiling it. A professional recommended using a self levelling compound on an old concrete kitchen floor but let us down due to being too busy to do the job. A 2nd "professional" tried to put down a SLC but failed miserably (3x). Seeing him in action on the 3rd time, we realised he was out of his depth and thought we might get someone else to do it before getting him to tile later. [ATTACH]28941.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]28940.vB[/ATTACH] Unfortunately his efforts had to be lifted up (cracked pic) as the next day there were cracks all over the floor and crunching sounds underfoor on a supposedly dry floor. After watching a couple of youtube vids and buying a big bucket and spikey roller, we decided to do the SLC ourselves with Sika latex mix (couldn't have done any worse really). Before we go ahead with tiling does the surface of the SLC need to be primed/sealed? -Concrete kitchen floor. (3x3.5m) -Sealed with Ronseal OneCoat concrete seal. -2x 25kgs bags used with 4 litres more water than stated on back of packs (read elsewhere on here that mix was too thick otherwise). -Slightly dusty floor. Should it be ok/necessary to seal the SLC with the ronseal onecoat again, or pva mix before applying adhesive and tiles? Thanks for reading so far. [/QUOTE]
