Had a window sill that I wanted to raise by 40mm to avoid slither cuts yesterday. I normally use cement or plaster board but for speed and ease I thought I'd try SLC.
Had a freebie bag of BAL max level in the garage and poured it at the end of yesterday and finished the job today - worked a treat.

Sorry oli. Your post is great. This is the only thing I disagree with. Replacing tiles I dig all 4 corners out( grout lines, top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right)with a flat head screw driver. Then middle of each joint with flat head. Then batter with a hammer (concrete floor) if gyprock (for example) I make my snips the hammer and lightly batter. Generally speaking at least one point of the tile will give way and I work from there.

Invest in a multicutter they are the tilers best friend.
