      Is this self leveling?

      Answer This Question

      No, this is not a self-leveling product. Henry 549 is a patch. Use Henry 555 if you need a self-leveling.

        No primer required?
        ByJul 16, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        No, no primer is required prior to using Henry 549 patch. All flooring patches in general require subfloors must be structurally sound, solid and completely clean. Remove waxes, sealers, curing compounds, patching compounds, dust, dirt, oil, or any contaminant which may act as a bond breaker.

                The patch compound is easy to smooth out to a very fine edge. I used it to level my cement floor low spots. I only mix about 1 pound at a time since it sets up within 10 minutes. It's not the compound to completely level an entire floor but great for leveling smaller low level areas. The patch when dry is very hard and durable.

                This product is A.MA.Z.I.N.G. if you want to achieve the concrete look without the cost for wall treatments! I went back and forth on what I wanted to do for our staircase wall since it was so uneven. Painting it, you would see every imperfection. I wasn't going to mess with wallpaper and my husband hated the faux brick idea. Total cost was 3 boxes less than $100 to achieve the look I wanted!

                We used this project for our concrete countertops (over laminate). After sealing it, it has held up well.

                Happy with the product
                The product does what it says. Dries in 15 minutes, all depending on how thick you apply. My thicker areas took several hours completely. Some areas I gave overnight to be safe. The product dries rock solid, literally. I wound it best to mix smaller amounts, apply, then mix additional smaller amounts… Also found it better mix a little wetted than instructions indicate, 1 water to 2 product. Got a smoother finish when mixed a little wetter. Happy with the product and the results.

                Used as a skimcoat
                I used this product to fix my patio floor which is made out of a stucco type material. I took up the old skimcoat area and replaced with this Henry Feather Finish. It takes some getting used to as you only have about 15 minutes before the product hardens

                SO EASY!!!
                I have no idea what the unhappy folks are unhappy about. I patched a 16 sq/ft area in about 10 minutes. Clean up was super easy. Product went down like pancake batter. Honestly, this has to be one of the EASIEST home projects I've ever tackled. I can only assume the "unhappy's" didn't follow directions or didn't prep it properly. I used exactly 6 qts of cool water. Mixed it for two minutes with a paddle attachment on my drill...poured it out, moved it around a bit with a trowel for about 30 seconds and let it settle in...that's it. Hosed off the bucket and paddle mixer for about a minute...they look brand new.

                  Skim Coat Scam
                  We purchased the Henry 549 as a fix for skim coating a small bedroom floor. Rather than mechanically sand or chip off the uneven floor below, this was to be our “timesaver”. What a waste of money, time and tools. We followed the instructions EXACTLY and the end result is horrible. We also need a new bucket, trowel and paddle. This product does not trowel evenly, self level or smooth. It’s clumpy, lumpy and VERY hard to move. Never again will we buy Henry brand products. They need to update the instructions, which are very direct NOT to add more water. It will probably work in very small batches to cover holes, cracks or indents. But, be warned you have 6-8 minutes max time to use this stuff. DO NOT use it as a skim coat, or you will be wasting your money, just like we did.

                    Being a first timer, I have to say, it was very easy to apply. I like that you can choose the consistency, so if you're slow at spreading, or it's your first time using it, you can make it a little thinner, and won't have to rush when applying. I used this product to cover my tile countertops, it took 4 coats to fully cover the grout lines, which equaled up to 3 boxes, and it came out so beautiful! I was very happy with the results, and would definitely recommend.
