Serious question, fixing uneven subfloor under luxury vinyl planks.

Had a job where the LVP was clicking because the subfloor had dips. One buddy swears by self-leveler for any flaw, another says to just feather patch the low spots. I mixed a small batch of leveler for the big dip and patched the rest, which saved time and money. Which method do you guys trust more for this kind of fix?

Typical division between perfectionists and pragmatists there. Same fight happens with every home project, just pick the fix that gets the job done.

My last leveler mix looked like a toddler's art project, so I stick to feather patching now.

Wow, mixing leveler yourself? I'd never trust my mix for something like that.
