That's a self levelling grout not a concrete.

Is that a polymer or conventional? It looks almost like latex or something. I've used epoxy grout on equipment many times, but this is new to me.

It will be a polymer modified grout.

I installed hot water radiant floor heat when I built my house in the late 80’s. Stapled 3000ft of tubing to the subfloor. Then had a sub contractor pump “Gypcrete”, brand name, over the tubing. It is classified as lightweight concrete. Sand was the only aggregate used.

It did NOT flow like in that video

That's a lot of stapling. Would need a week to recover from that now

You would have been able to do 37 years ago with no problem. I get tired now just thinking about that whole project!!!

Built my first complete house in 1987. Concrete to the final painting and everything in between. Didn't do the electrical in that one. And yeah back then it would have made me sore, but back up and atem the next day. Authur Itis has other ideas for me now
