Update: Gave up on self-leveling compound after 3 tries, went back to mud and patience

Been fighting a bathroom floor for two months. First pour went wrong because I didn't prime enough. Second one had bubbles everywhere. Third one cured with a ridge right down the middle. Yesterday I grabbed a 4 foot level, a bag of regular floor patch, and just did it slow. Took 4 hours instead of 30 minutes but it's actually flat now. I think those YouTube videos make it look too easy. The self-leveling stuff is great if you have a perfect substrate and a helper moving it around. But for a small 5x7 bathroom? Not worth the headache. Has anyone else had better luck with the traditional way on their first attempt?
