Installing Shiplap And Floor Self Leveler - INSANE Backyard Pt 10

What happens here

Apply a bonding primer (often purple or pink in color) to the entire cleaned and sealed concrete slab using a roller on an extension pole. The primer is essential for creating a strong bond between the existing concrete and the new self-leveling compound, preventing delamination and ensuring a durable finish. Cover the entire surface evenly, paying attention to edges and corners, and allow it to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions. The pink color of the primer helps to ensure even coverage across the floor.

Goal: Ensure optimal adhesion of the self-leveling compound to the concrete slab.
