How to Use Self-Leveling Compound

1- Measure the full length and width of the concrete floor area.

2- Sweep the concrete surface thoroughly with a stiff-bristled push broom.

Note:Discard this cement in the trash. Do not rinse it off the floor into the sewer system.

3- Across all doorways into the area with the concrete floor, lay rubber threshold strips. These will prevent seepage of the primer, self-leveling compound, and your final concrete pour into other rooms or outdoors.

4- Pour the surface primer onto the floor in long narrow sections. Using a soft-bristled long broom, spread it out over the floor in rows the length of the surface. Sweep out excess primer from the hollows and mark them with a pencil circle.

5-In the mixing drum, add nine of 10 parts (90 percent) of the water required to mix the compound according to the directions on the compound bags. Two bags of compound will level an average garage floor. Attach the mixing paddle to the power drill and turn it on. Have your assistant pour the compound mix into the mixing drum slowly to avoid lumps. Mix up only as much compound as you can apply in 20 to 30 minutes.

6- Pour the self-leveling compound onto the concrete in long thin strips about 12 inches wide.
