How to remove self-leveling compound
The sad story of my storage floor continues.
I have now started considering removing all the leveling compound and the paint above it so that I can at least have a concrete floor again.
About 170 kg of compound has been laid on 16m2
How is it best to remove this now? Sanding machine or chipping?

Bilning is probably easiest.

Sanding. This is because if I had used a jackhammer, I would still have needed to sand the result.
About 30 hours, a few blisters, and reasonably sore feet later, the filler is pretty much gone. For those who are pros at sanding, yes, my technique was terrible. Once I learned how to do it, half the job took 6-7 hours.
Now I'm wondering how to varnish a concrete floor. Is there a thicker two-component varnish one should use, or what is typically used for this? There were a few small pits where the sander dislodged a stone.
