What is wrong with your floor?? there are 2 types of compound. One is water based, mixed to a runny plaster consistency using a mixing handle or drill agitator and is used to smooth a slightly rough or gritty floor, the other is of an acrylic base which is purchased with the compound and is used to build up the floor to a height. The water based takes longer to dry so both need to be fully dry ( turned completely white) before you can walk or lay any flooring on top. Both will need a little help to spread with a trowel and may need sanding to smooth down any trowel marks left when dry.You will need to put some form of flooring on top because the compound will break up if walked on if not covered when dry.
