Hi,
I have a few questions regarding floor tiling. This will be my first go but have done several wall tiling jobs which turned out ok.

Tiles are 600x600 polished porcelain in beige. Tiling onto a concrete floor in kitchen, utility and wc.

I need to self level the floor, today I bought Larsen acrylic primer and will put it down at the weekend. Is this good stuff? Needs to be still tacky prior to putting the leveller down.

1- Do I need latex self leveller or is the water based ok?
2- I have took the kickerboards off the cupboards, will I just let the self leveller go under the cupboards or put something up to stop it going under?
3- Adhesive- do I need a flexible one? Read on here to do so but fella in tile shop said the standard would bs fine- can get weber or mapei.

Many thanks in advance
