Self leveler

[S a plastering]

Going on a new concrete floor with leveler does the concrete need priming
With anything or is it straight on with it was thinking sbr priming cheers chaps

Self leveller on concrete would not need priming.

you want stopgap 128 latex over concrete and you want 114 for a primer, ive done miles and miles of this:RpS_thumbup:

Id always prime. We did loads on the insurance and always used to use sbr

does it have to be latex based I thought the normal leveller is ok over concrete

Im just waiting for asif to amend his post to "prime the concrete prior to leveling" after JACE & Beddy's answers.................:RpS_laugh:

Prime oh yes prime ,god damn it was a typo, damn iPad, prime every time, ps not on lots of self levelling specs to prime concrete but it is on some, hedging my bets, sitting on the fence,

ive always primed to be sure to be sure and ive only used the water based leveler a few times and i dnt think its as good as the proper stopgap gear

I am right in that primer is not needed unless you purchase a self leveller which needs primer, I always read what the product I am using says so that if anything is remiss it is not down to my lack of knowledge,

I have seen self levelling come away from unprimed surfaces so for the sake of a tub of sbr why risk it. I always remember a customer told us he was going to level the floor himself over the weekend. Turned up monday and he must have mixed it like render peaks and valleys all over the place. He said 'i didnt know how to mix it. I thought it was meant to level itself out'
