After taking up the hallway (11m2) carpet and tiles I went and bought some SLC to get the floor (which is concrete) ready for the wood flooring to go down. After buying four bags of the 1-10mm stuff a realised that the gap between where the floor is and needs to be is about 14mm... I know measure once buy twice

Am I best:
1. Buying several of the 3-40mm SLC stuff and using that in the first pour, and then a second pour to use up the four other bags of a few mm.
2. Swapping the four for the thicker stuff plus the extra bags I need to do one 14mm pour (1 and 2 will be expensive I reckon).
3. Anyone know if I can get away with cement and sand scree of 10mm to bring it up a bit, if it's on top of existing concrete, then the 4mm SLC and then wood flooring?

You should be able to bulk up the bags with granite chippings for more coverage. Check the specs on the bags/manufacturers website first.
