    SLC over Ditra?

    Has anyone used SLC to fill Ditra? I'm wondering if this would work - whether it would run into the holes fully. If it did work it would save a lot of time on bigger jobs and be more cost effective than filling with adhesive. I usually go over with a loose mix of adhesive first and allow to dry...
