Default Leveling Concrete

I will be building a basement bath. The concrete floor needs to be leveled.
I've heard of, but never seen, something called "self-leveling concrete." I
need advice on where to find such a product and recommendations on an "easy
to use" product.

Thanks,

YTKinWI (Sturtevant to be exact)

You can find this at Home Depot in the tile aisle.

There's also a primer that is applied to the concrete before applying the
SLC. Very easy to use, put the proper amount of water in a 5 gallon
bucket, and add powder as you mix with an electric drill mixer. Pours onto
the floor like a milkshake. Make sure you have the boundary of the area
you want to fill dammed up so the SLC doesn't run down the drain, over door
thresholds, etc.
