Self Levelling Compound issue (pictures) - TilersForums.com

If you have a rubbing block, or @Dan’s favourite a brick, you can rub down any high spots if it’s slightly soft, just go steady.
Only if you can reach from outside.
You’ll know if it can take it the moment you touch it.

Great tip, thanks. It's walkable.

I'm starting to think rapid set was a bad idea considering this is my first floor. I don't seem to be able to find a local sockist of Mapei slow set. I've read mixing brands is not advisable, but I have a Norcros slow set.... thoughts?

This is your first floor and you plan to cut nearly around the toilet? Chip away the leveller around the toilet and remove it before you go any further, this will be way quicker and leave a far superior job in the end.

Gonna practice cutting around the toilet this time, but next time I will remove the toilet.

Gotta agree with @LEE MAC. You have an iso valve there and a speedfit straight tap connector. It couldn’t be any easier. If the pan ever breaks or needs replacing you’ll have a nice foot print to cover up.

Oh well, to be fair, that pan does have a small base. Good luck with the cutting!

If I was to remove the toilet now there will be a whole left behind, would I need to pack this out with more SLC or use adhesive?

As above, takes no time to remove the toilet as opposed to cutting round it and ends up with a neater finish...

Long as you make it a good solid bed and it doesn't exceed manufacturers maximum thickness you can build that bit up with adhesive

So after many day it's rock hard, must have just been the temperature. No skin, not perfectly level. Probably should have made a dam at the door and used more.
