Suzie, I sure see a very different answer than others.

There are gyp based floor levelers, acrylic based, and cement
based. I have had problems in the past with gypsum based products
and do not recommend them. If you have small areas to work and
will not have further use for the product, Durham's Rock Hard
water putty will work quite well. Any good floor supply store,
lumber yard, or box store should have many choices of floor
leveler. Thinset is an adhesive for ceramic tile, it might work
but one of the major issues with any leveler is the ability to
feather out to nothing which is not typical for thinset.

I pulled up the carpet in my bedroom to find that the previous
residents put the carpet down on top of plywood. I want to put
some
vinyl down over the plywood, but need to fill in the cracks
between the plywood as well as fill in any small holes first.

I went to find some "floor leveler," describing to the person
in the floor department at Lowes what I was trying to do. She
showed me a big bag of powder, told me that I'd need six bags
for a 14' x 15' room, and that I had to mix it myself.

Whew!

If that's all there is I'll get it, but isn't there something
else? I don't really need a lot. Isn't there a sort of "hole
filler" that I could use? I remember buying some when I wanted
to put vinyl on a concrete floor that had small holes in it.
It worked a bit like spackle.

While it is a large area, the whole floor wouldn't have to be
covered with the stuff.

Thanks in advance for your advice,
