Self levelling compound is used by tillers and floor layers to address dips and levels on floors prior to laying top surfaces. It is mixed with water to create a runny mixture which will find its own level, but may require a little trowel work. Mix thoroughly to ensure there are no air bubbles in the mix and be careful not to mix too thickly or too over water the mix. Usually there will be instructions on the bag you buy which will recommend the amount of water to use. It is suitable to correct a level up too 2mm at a time. If there is a larger discrepancy then 2mm then more then one mix will be required. When I tiled my kitchen floor, I had to use 3 layers of compound on one section to correct the dip
