Any floor covering and finishes must be removed exposing the damaged area. Wate might be applied to the damaged area to subdue dust. Using a circular saw remove 1/32” depth of the affected area. Primer is applied to the repair area using a brush or spray gun. A batch of self leveling product is mixed and applied to the damaged area with a float or trowel. The finished floor can be reapplied after the underlayment has fully cured (box fan can be used to speed up cure time).
