Installing Shiplap And Floor Self Leveler - INSANE Backyard Pt 10
What happens here
Starting from the lowest marked areas of the floor (often corners or edges), carefully pour the mixed self-leveling compound onto the primed surface. Using a flat squeegee or gauge rake with an extension pole, immediately begin to spread the compound across the floor, guiding it towards other low spots and ensuring it flows evenly. Work quickly and systematically, as the compound has a limited working time. Continue pouring and spreading until the entire area is covered and a uniform, level surface is achieved, referencing your earlier elevation markings. The self-leveling compound will naturally seek its own level, creating a smooth plane.
Goal: Apply and spread the self-leveling compound to create a smooth, level floor.
