    Flooring. We used a levelling compound on our wood floor.
    My question is the compound has little cracks where we walked on it is that OK or do we have to fix that before we put the laminate down.

    Leveling compound is designed to work on concrete and plywood subfloors. If u used it on a strip floor(oak), it will crack because the wood moves independent of each other. U may not feel the movement but it is there. Any patching u do will also crack.
