Mixing self-leveling and non-leveling Dicor?

[steilkurve]

Hey all. Will replace the vent pipe cap on my AS. it is leaking and am installing a new Syphon360. I will caulk around the black vent pipe and then under the Syphon360 base and on the screw holes to ensure nothing leaks. I will use non-leveling Dicor for that. Then, once the new vent cap is in place and screwed in, I will apply self-leveling Dicor on and around the base of the Syphon360, including over the tightened screws. I assume some of the non-leveling will touch the self-leveling Dicor before it's fully cured. Is that a problem? Thanks.

Well, couldn't wait. Work is done. I ended up keeping the old Syphon360 as the issue was simply that the funnel wasn't glued to the top of the vent and the water creeped in through a nearby hole my dealer made for my WiFi Ranger cable.

Anyhow, I first used non-leveling as described above and to fill the big hole around the cable. I then covered it up with self-leveling. Look at the before and after!

Don't know what the experts say, but I've had the self-leveling and the non-leveling in contact with each other on past projects with no ill effect. They both have similar chemical makeups from what I can tell and seem to stick to each other.
