I am trying to install laminate flooring but found some sags in the sub floor that are much more than 1/8th of an inch. I will need to level the floor before installing but I'm not sure how.
What are my options?
Double-up on the foam underpad?
Is there a product that you can apply to the top of the sub floor to level it out?

Roofing shingles and roofing felt work good.

..and/or flooring leveling compound.
I had to use both on my install and the roofing felt worked where I was a tad low on my leveling compound.
