yeah the water based latex is shizzer plus it takes ages to go off. the best primer ive found is the green stuff but for the life of me i cnt remember the name of it so im sure this post helps you haha 
i got my spinning laser level out 2day to put a datum on the walls to see the high and low spots there is a difference of over 2 inches from one end of the room to the other plus theres the high spot in the middle its doin my head in i cant screed it cause it will be well to high it looks like its all gotta be ground back if there is gonna be any sort of level screed, the kitchen is holding up everything, im also thinking there may be plumbing under there, that has caused this high spot in the middle i maybe wrong though , right has anyone used a concrete grinder b4? if so how good are they ? also what base latex u on about plstering?

well thats the primer sorted but what about the latex? its a shame u only had a push bike m8 i would have let u do the floor for me
i used to work for a flooring company for a little bit and the stuf they used and that i always use is ball stopgap green bag and i mix it with ball stopgap 114 or 128 latex liquid, 114 is for goin over non absorbant floors and 128 is for absorbant floors.
you just mix one whole bag to one 5ltr tub and its covers about 4 to 5 m2 depending on how much you need to build it out. have you ever spread this stuff before??

oh and as a primer i use stopgap too i think its 131 again if its non absorbant you use it neat and if its absorbant you dilute it, so thats stopgap green bag with either 114 or 128 latex liquid with a primer of 131 all made by ball, hope this helps
no i havent used it b4 m8, what would they take the high spots out with scabbler, grinder? chisel ? well 4get chisel as the high spots 3ft wide
it depents i proberly wouldnt use a grinder dnt fancie finding a pipe under there.
i would proberly try the scabbler and if that diddnt work ive already got a mechanical breaker so i would very gently try that.
when you spread that latex dnt try to work it too much thats one of the things i learnt first, me being used to plaster i was trying to work it quite a bit, i was taught to pour it out then push it to the edges and where you need it leave it for liturally a matter of seconds whilst you spread out the next area then go back and lightly smooth off by running the trowel over it gently, then let it find its own levels. couple of hours and you can walk on the stuff.
