    Gypcrete is a floor leveler so what's under it. Maybe we can tell you more if you tell us how you are planning to finish the room or what you want to install.

    Is the gypcrete 3/4 or 1 1/2" thick ? And why do you need to install plywood over it ? I ask this because we may have an alternative that might be easier or lest costly to do. As ball was trying to find out.
