Jeff, you and StudPack seem to always know what projects are in my near future and put out the research& DIY videos I need to watch. Thank you for a much needed live tutorial

[Mike-Olds-]

Thanks for leveling with us on the use of these products in various situations 😆

[Mike-pber]

I have been using Custom self-leveler for my jobs for years, great product!

[sonofquassiemodo]

im in the i watch loads of your vids, and there boss, well detailed, and yer give the pitfalls too

[mikebonello]

i did this for my upstairs floor - very unlevel areas of OSB on joists. Used QuickLevel RS - you gotta be organized but it's do able - set out levelling screws around the area.
then glued the flooring to the self leveler. it worked great. It seems wrong to start pouring a concrete based liquid over your upstairs wooden subfloor - but it totally works so long as you follow the instructions carefully.

it is much easier than the alternative - cutting up the floor to remove sections and then sistering joists to level ....

You are the best. You have an answer for every scenario and always add more education to it. Thank you!

When I'm taking on some DIY, I come here first. Great content and quality info. Thanks Jeff!

We are buying a house (Wiltshire, UK). The entire downstairs area has asbestos tiles, bonded with asbestos bitumen. I am so glad you said "use primer then leveller over it, to encapsulate the asbestos." PERFECT! Will take some work to do it, but that's great. Thank you. Now I just need to find UK equivelent products.

Wow, Jeff perfect timing. I've just reached this point. I'm replacing my sub floor (rotten wood due to moister) on a slab foundation. Concert has a 3/4 max bowel shape. So I'll listen to you before I wing it.

Yes!! I found old glued down vinyl sheeting in my house that likely has asbestos. I will be self-leveling over this weekend!

You silver tongued YouTube devil! I just tried my first run on installing vinyl plank flooring with little to no success. I have clean underlayment down, but there seems to be some waviness or dips in the surface, that misaline the locking edges of the heavy grade planks. So, after a terrble struggle, that was to be "easy peasy", I came to that conclusion all by myself. So, I intend to use floor leveler on top of OSB type underlay. I do not recall you talking about leveler in the video on installing vinyl plank, even after watching 2 or 3 times.

Thank you for this. It gave me the final nudge I needed to tackle the 70s tile and black mastic floor I found under the carpet in one of my bedrooms. Now that the scary and hideously wonky slab is covered up and level, I can stop stressing about it and move on with the rest of the room renovation as planned.
And you helped me avoid a mistake. I was about to go for the RS stuff from Home Depot. Getting the slow set from a flooring place instead was definitely the right way to go for me since I was working alone and had a large floor to cover. It ended up taking 15 bags. Now I get to take a break for a day to let it cure.

Could not have come at a better time! Thank you!

Another option if you don’t have expansion foam to contain the self leveler against walls or gaps, you can use some tuck tape in a pinch and it will work great.

Oh noo!! I missed such an important topic today!! That's literally my upcoming project for the kitchen/living room!!

[Lucy]

Hi...thank you for the informational video. I have a concrete patio at the back of my house. It is about a 22' x 22'. One wall is part of the house's structure which has a block foundation (I can apply the products on that side since there is plenty of foundation). The other wall is the garage area with vinyl siding & a piece of vinyl molding that goes all the way to the patio. If I apply a bonding agent, then self-leveler and lastly a concrete resurfacing product, would you recommend not putting anything as a barrier to that siding and molding? I am planning to stamp the concrete surface.

[rusticagenerica]

Your videos are EXCELLENT. I want God to Bless you.

[snowtu]

Stick with shoenox. Make sure to screw your plywood down to the joists so there is no flex...before you pour, and fill all holes and cracks with cauking. If your floor flexes, it will crack all your tiles like egg shells.

[francisrichards]

Thank you Jeff et al. You are good people
