Primer on Self Leveler before tile
Hi there, I’m confused with what I should do. I used Levelquik Self Leveler on my bathroom floor, which turned out amazingly despite all the horror stories online. My tile store sells the Mapei Products and sent me home with Mapei mortar, which says that I should prime before applying onto gypsum/self leveler. The Levelquik product says it isn’t gypsum. The link Mapei provides for info on the products confuses me further - if I do need to prime what should I use? This is a small bathroom with a mosaic tile floor. Mapei link: https://cdnmedia.mapei.com/docs/librariesprovider10/line-technical-documentation-documents/tiling-over-gypsum.pdf?sfvrsn=1613106b_4 Photos of mortar, Levelquik info, and a photo of my bathroom: https://imgur.com/a/7wU6PlR Should I prime? Get a different mortar? Just get tiling? Thanks for any help. Edited for spelling submitted by /u/travelswithzoe [link] [comments]
