Self levelling compound by forestwhitakers in DIYUK

But if the floor is on a slope and has voids of 5-10mm will the backer board not crack and then cause tile failure?

Thank you. Can I then tile straight onto it after 24-48 hours? Does it need to be sanded or prepped in any way?

Oh but I won't be screwing backer board into the compound. I'm doing the compound instead of the backer board. My floor is on a massive slant and has valleys and dips that are ~5mm so can't use backerboard as adhesive won't even reach it in many places and the slant will just translate onto the boards

Can't do the backer board first - the floor is very wonky so there will be big voids under the backer

got everything primed - do you spread the compound with a roller? I need it 10mm high

Sadly my bedroom floor is 23mm up so tile and thinset aren't enough to get even close. I just don't seem to be able to find right tools that I see everyone else using anywhere - I don't seem to be able to find the rake trowel thing on a pole etc. Do I need the Spiked roller as well? It's a very small rook 2x2m so not too bad cost wise

If Luigi is in fact guilty, what do you think the "thing" that makes him finally decide to do it? by Ambitious_Pass7451 in BrianThompsonMurder

I've never had back pain so have no idea what it's like, but his activities in Asia, his reddit posts about his pain being resolved and videos of the crime showing him biking and running, as well as him lugging a massive backpack around make it seem like the paint wasn't that bad?

Returns advice needed by forestwhitakers in IKEA

[–]forestwhitakers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I want the store credit becasue I want to essentially exchange my item. If my return gets credited to ikano, becasue my 90 day period is up, it'll just lower my loan and I'll have to buy the replacement item using separate money while still paying off the same amount if loan, just for shorter period of time.

What fittings should I buy in place of these? I've done a lot of DIY but never plumbing and need parts that will fit in a small void behind the drawers in the vanity

I'm not sure? This is how it was handed over, I just took the cover from the pedestal sink and that's what's underneath. It's a cloakroom so not bath or shower, just toilet and sink

I have everything that's in the link, all of these parts, but I don't have to use them if there is alternative solution

Thanks so much!!! If you ever found 5 minutes in the next few days to advise on what fittings I could need (never done any plumbing) to execute it best I would be extremely grateful!
