In the past I've used Arditex NA/Arditex K60 on fresh cement slabs before finishing with an Epoxy coating, usually this has been pretty good.
I'm looking for an alternative and considering Sika Level and Latex, anyone have any experience with this and were the results any good.
Another alternative is Henry 560 but the Sika mix seems to give more coverage for less money.

I'm going to apply it to a fresh basement cement slab floor that I'll poxy, a kitchen floor that's 1/2" plywood on top of floorboards as well as a 3/4" plywood bathroom floor that will recieve tiles.
So best coverage for price is very attractive.

Why is the new concrete not level, or reasonably so? Are all the floors dippy? Do you really need SLC?
It's a 2 inch thick basement slab that had bulged upwards nearly 2 inches, there's are still some some large bubbles dotted around the basement.
One section I've removed the cement, levelled and tampered the grit underneath ready for a fresh 2 inch covering of topping cement.
There are other areas with cracks about 1/8 of an inch wide near some of the bubbles.
I just think that once I've removed the bubbled cement, tampered. new cement topped, sealed, primed, self-leveled and epoxy'd will give the area a better finish and better moisture protection.
