Self Leveler over fresh concrete, how long should I wait?
I had to cut a hole in my concrete floor to move a drain for a shower, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how long I have to wait for the new concrete to cure before I can put self leveling cement over it (I'm putting in in-floor heat so I have to use the self leveler)
|
No reason to wait as far as the concrete is concerned.
|
It says on the container of self leveler that the concrete must be fully cured
|
What brand of self leveler?
|
The brand is Akona self-leveling floor underlayment cement
|
Sorry I am not familiar with that one. Is that what the heat system recommends?
I wish I could be of more help.---Mike-- |
What is a heat system?
|
You said you were putting in in floor heat---I figured it was an electric under floor system-----
Perhaps I an a bit confused. |
oh yeah, I am using electric in floor heat. I'm not sure what it recommends, I'll have to look and see what it says
|
Fully cured concrete is about 28 days.
|
If you are looking to fill in some low or uneven spots before you bed your electric mat into Firmset--
consider using 'Feather finish' or even vinyl cement patch. If you need to level the floor check out 'Jiff Set' All of the above work over new cement----There is a technical help phone number on the bag of stuff that you bought--Call it and ask if it's the right thing for your use.---Mike-- |
