can anyone tell me how or what I would ask for for a SLF over here, can't find anyone in my local area who knows my needs, best I'm getting is a sloppy cement mix (not good enough).
Thanks!
Not only that, but a sloppy mix will greatly reduce the strength of the cement mixture.
Cement has to be mixed at the correct mixture to maximize it's strength.
Thankyou everyone, my problem is trying to level the floor without raising the floor (obviously within reason). I have decided to tile myself as the workers made a right a$$ of the passageway. So the kitchen level needs to be the same as the passageway but it slopes and dips all over the place. With an SLC I could leave just enough to get my tiles down and keep the same level right through. SO you see my problem with laying a new slab, I can't go higher. I really don't want to chop away the existing slab as I can see that turning into a never ending story.
Thanks again, but still no sign of a Leveling compound anywhere. Any other ideas appreciated.
Very quick lesson I received is that leave a Dominican to do a job for you and they will probably (hopefully) do a good job for you, BUT, even if they don't know how to do something then they will still take it on as if it is second nature and learn on the job, at my expense unfortunately.
I'd rather do it myself and have it done properly, even if it does take a long time. Thanks anyway.

Where are you/the home in question?
... J-D.
A stone throw from the malecon.
Are you connected within the building trade here?
Assuming that is the Puerto Plata Malecon, like me to look at it then?

Yes - I'm a civil engineer and am trying to start up a construction company here. We just got our first project, the renovation of a gas station. We're here in Santiago.
