I will be building a basement bath. The concrete floor needs to be leveled. I've heard of, but never seen, something called "self-leveling concrete." I need advice on where to find such a product and recommendations on an "easy to use" product.

Thanks,

You can find this at Home Depot in the tile aisle. LevelQuik RS Rapid Setting Self-Leveling Underlayment:

There's also a primer that is applied to the concrete before applying the SLC. Very easy to use, put the proper amount of water in a 5 gallon bucket, and add powder as you mix with an electric drill mixer. Pours onto the floor like a milkshake. Make sure you have the boundary of the area you want to fill dammed up so the SLC doesn't run down the drain, over door thresholds, etc.
