Best starting place

Yeah, really good.
As I said Mapei Eco (Ultraplan) if you can't get TileMaster gear.
Hardly have to touch it, I use a spike roller to get the air out of it & job done.

I normally only use the spike roller to flow the pours into each other & get rid of air pockets.
If you work slc too much with a float it doesn't leave it level.
The more you pour the more your learn.

Mix as instructed and any problems with the material you have a good come back. Is it just me that has customers that don't want to pay for self levelling? The amount of "crap" I have to get over sometimes!

Oh and sorry, when you get to the threshold you said it's fixed, just remember to lay the tiles to go under it before the last row before the threshold or you'll be picking them up to get them in :lol:

I use skid rake, spiked roller and a trowel. Doing bigger floor on your own its a struggle. Its better to have someone mixing as you can spend time working on latex and then its a joy to tile on top of it

remove threshold,baton doorway if needed,prime floor,mix as per instructions,pour and trowel,spike roller it
someone too mix helps if your not quick
practice you should be able too screed within a 2mm tolerance with no trowel marks,only taken 30 years so far 🙂

As has been said, a well latex'd floor is not only a joy to work with, it saves u time and potentially a lot of adhesive. Do u have much depth?
If u have over 6mm to go down u can cut some 6mm batons up and use them as runners to pull a straight edge along. A method described on here by Jonnyc. It's worth the effort esp if you're not confident yet. Then u can remove them the Nxt day and back fill the space they leave. Just make sure they are well supported or they will sag when u pull thro your straight edge.
Thats what I had to do here because from the point I chose to take my level from the floor varied by +18 to -5mm 37 bags in 43m2! I used the tilemaster on this occasion but my other favourite is Weber Floorflex. Good luck.
