How to level floor?
We needed to replace some rot. However, floor is slightly off level due to patch. What can we use to level floor prior to laying alllure? Self leveling that won't crack?
Forum Discussion
- Shimming UNDER patch so that it is level with subfloor
- Patch is right at slide, I'm looking for a self leveling to blend everything together...it that makes sense.
- Self leveling floor compound from most any big box store.
- Something like Flexible Floor Patch may do the job.
- I had this problem in an older 5th wheel I bought to hunt in. What I did is I used body putty (Bondo) and feathered out the imperfections and sanded smooth. It worked great and now you can't tell there was ever a repair made.
- Ardex found at flooring supply. Nothing better or easier to use. Excellent adhesion!
- Ok...so I started with Bondo. I hope it comes out good. Water damage is not fun with the 5th wheel. I need to level floor and put kitchen back together. We will need to lay Allure. Fixing damage due to the drain hose. Just trying to get things back together for our summer trip...
- Good choice using bondo. It adheres well, is fairly flexible and won't crack, not like the powdered floor levelers would in an RV.
