Overdid it with self-leveling compound, can I sand it?

Hey,

I used self-leveling compound in several small areas of the concrete floor of my kitchen. Now I have several slightly raised areas.... can I sand or wear down those somehow to make it level? Or was I supposed to do the whole floor at once?

Thanks for any replies,

Steve Harrison

You can grind down those areas or if you intended on pouring the whole floor, reprime and start pouring again.

Do I really need to do this?Read More
