Are you going to make a leveling for your concrete subfloor? This video is very helpful for you and has couple of unique tricks! You can buy Floor Screed Tripods HERE: bit.ly/2uVCPfX
Hi, you’re link to the tripods don’t work.. I would like to buy some. Thanks.
The reflection of the metal studs on the surface of the compound really show how effective that roller is to flatten it out.
Yes, you’re right!
Thanks for your opinion!
great process
Thanks!
Thanks
Welcome
Beautiful
Thank you!
Nice we were tought dust is a killer so primer on the way out the door so youre not walking on it and we have couple pair of old gulf shoes with the plastic spikes to spread the leveler
I have spike shoes, but for this job I didn’t use it.
Thanks for the "how to's". I have sealed my garage floor. does that sealer have to be removed before I can prime and poor the leveler?
Yes, you have to clean up surface, before start leveling.
Great videos. Quick question, How do you know where to place the tripods?
Find the low spots and put it there 2-3’ from each other. Thanks
When doing a whole room like this one, what is the amount of water you use compared to what the directions say? Do you use the most water it allows, or somewhere in the middle?
Good question! I am using full 5 gallons bucket for 3 bags of compound.
great video. would you advise a beginner having a second set of hands to mix or do you think that someone doing this for the first time can work quick enough before it sets to get the next batch mixed?
also what did you do when you came back to trim the foam?
Hi David, I don’t know about other brands, but Mapei gives to you over half an hour. For this time you can smoke cigar, drink vine, watching TV and also finish leveling. Just use cold water. Thanks!
@@MrYoucandoityourself ...."smoke cigar, drink wine and watch TV".....🤣👍 No wonder you use this product🤣
Good tool. Thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@MrYoucandoityourself thank you for the interesting videos. Keep up the good work
I’ll do.

Great as always. I want to put tiles in one part of my apartment now, but in future I will redo all the floors, including bathroom. Do I need to pay attention now that bathroom floor must be lowest in the whole apartment. I am asking because currently bathroom is very high, its higher than most of the floors.
Hi Lazar, usually the bathroom should be lower than the other floor area, but now nobody cares about it. Most clients want to make all floors even without any steps. Up to you, only your design, my friend!
You could make the tiles slightly slope down towards the shower/bath, 3mm slope per 1m won't be noticable and will ensure that if there's water spilled while bathing/showering (so everyday use) it won't run towards the bathroom door. Obviously that won't work for large leaks, if there's loads of water you will flood the other rooms if they are lower than the bathroom.
Do you ever break up the pour into sections, if the area is too large (or complex) to do in one shot?
I did it in one shot, but if don’t have enough experience, do it by sections. Thanks
sorry basic question. If you primer the floor but go back to apply the self levelling compound several days later, do you re-apply the primer, or is it enough to sprinkle a little water to moist the area (I mean apply from a spray bottle) or do I not even need to bother moistening it up again and just apply the self levelling? thanks for the video!
Hi my friend, very good question! For any applications of self leveling compound you have to put primer. I never use sprinkler to do it. Always roll it with painters roller. Don’t scare about moisture. Primer should be mixed with water for better penetration.
Does one need to rinse the bucket out after every batch? Will the left over stuff get hard in there or can you just keep using the same bucket without rinsing?
I am cleaning bucket after finishing leveling.
Do you need to prime again if you have to use a second coat the next day of selfleveling?
Yes, you have to prime every coat.
@@MrYoucandoityourself thank you
You’re welcome!
Boss What this roller do ? Do I need one ?
Hi,makes leveling compound more smooth and flat. How can I now what do you need?
@@MrYoucandoityourself . Thanks a lot I got one today . But didn't have that cover on top like yours so does it make mess on the wall .
From where I can get that ? Thanks again boss 👍
Did you add more water then the instructions, looks more liquid then normal. Can you add more water then the instructions and still get a good outcome
Hi Michael, yes, I did. But for any other brands it’s too complicated. For example Sika SLC very sensitive to water amounts. If you not using Mapei, try with small amount of SLC. If your result will positive, you can do it. I did big research for a long time with SLC Mapei.
If doing a large area can you stop a pour and then continue another day
Yes, I am doing it in doorway. Thanks
What is the Shipping Time to Colorado for the Tripods?
Regular shipping 5 days.
What state are you located
Vancouver Canada
How to level a dip in the floor

Hi, do you have a video where you level very deep, say 20-30mm in one application?
Yes, I have it - czcams.com/video/d-CUoPVlByw/video.html

Pouring a mini slab is what it looks like?
Yes.
Чё так дорого?
О чём вопрос?
@@MrYoucandoityourself о тринонах. Ну правда, 30 за штуку? Там себестоимость 2-3
Очень хорошо, сделай сам и отправь мне по почте. Я тебе заплачу не 2 а 3 за штуку!
