Latex "screed" question

Hi,Got 8 bags of Cempolatex that's going down in a couple of weeks.Will be using a series of guide rails to ensure correct levels and laying in1-.5m wide stripes for practical reasons (large room).One thing occurs to me: I have engineered a controlled slope in the centresection of the room (12mm in about 2m TBC)[1].The compound will be going on between 1mm and 8mm thick typically in thisregion. Am I likely to have trouble keeping it on this slight slope - ie isit likely to try to slump towards the lower end? The top end is likely toonly be 2-4mm thick.[1] Levelling the whole floor is out of the question - I would need 10 bagsjust to sort out half the room, then probably another 6 to complete. Andthere would be level mismatches at the hall door of 8-10mm.CheersTim
