Does anyone have any advice concerning using self-leveling cement primer before applying self leveling cement? I didn't use the primer (duh!) and I"m about 1/2 thru doing my kitchen floor. I'm wondering if I should remove what I have done already and redo it with primer.
Here's the situation:
I'm installing radiant floor warming in our kitchen. The subfloor is dri-core over a cement slab. The radiant floor heating cable needs to be embedded in about 1/4 inch of self-leveling cement. I've screwed the dricore panels down tight to the slab so there's no flex at all. However, I'm concerned that the self-leveling cement won't bond very well to the OSB. The cement hasn't cured yet, but it doesn't seem to stick the OSB very well.
I'm going to finish the floor with engineered wood so it not like I have to worry about a super solid base to support tiles.
I'm just wondering I'm overly concerned and should just finish the rest with primer.
Any advice or experience?
thanks,
Gord
