Thanks, just the video I needed, straight forward and simple to follow... Rob

ALWAYS prime the floor first...

[@1988rixy]

Always mix whilst tipping the bag in, also if you do not prime the floor which I wouldn’t advise them at least dampen the floor 👍🏻

Hi, do i need to remove the epoxy paint on my garage floor prior to using this? I guess yes, but the floor is so irregular that im not sure it's possible without some proper diamond cutting head professional thing..

[@Timehasfallenasleep]

Will it work on a surface coated with a liquid dpm ?

[@Chicago_Clout]

Great job friend.

[@charliechimples]

Great video, thanks for sharing. 🐵

[@MeMe-dw1sm]

Well done looks great, id be worried it would go off before i have the next bag ready!! Can i ask did you need to use a trowel at all?

Ive just bought the no nonsense screed s32..how much water does each 20kg bag take to mix ..the label says 3.4 to 3.6litres but heard u say 4 + litres.. hope this lays as nice as yours..good video

[@kristianharmer]

Hey, thanks for the video. I am about to level about 10qs metres at about 25mm depth. You mentioned 4 and a bit litres of water but on the back of this 'NO NONSENSE CEMENT-BASED LEVELLING SCREED 20KG' it states 3.6 / 3.8 litres. I wondered if the instructions have changed or if you just added more than the instructions stated (3-50mm bags)?

Nice job

[@kt3833]

what is the min thickness that need to be applied ?

[@Aristostudcavies]

How strong is the finished surface as need to level a stable floor but not sure if this will take the weight of a horse?

[@Deanthomson88]

Thought oke bag done 4.2m²? I calculate 6 bags for 27m²?

[@MeMe-dw1sm]

Yeah me too, I bought 6 bags to cover 20m²

[@tuffbadger7342]

will tis stick to old rubber tiles there a nightmare to remove

[@antsmith8588]

Remove them with and heat gun and a scraper.... Tilt the heat gun so the heat moves across the surface and the use a decent scraper and slide under.. Start at a join/corner..

Hi there, im about to do my cellar floors with this, one side of my cellar is concreted, the other concreted but old with some broken parts, im doing my research now. Im confused about the use of sbr or pva, how come you didnt apply the sbr or pva on the floor first? Also, im turning the cellar into a uitility room, would this be affect it at all? Will it be paintable? And will the paint protect it?

use primer first alway

[@bladewraith]

Is this muck good for external use? We just had our garage removed and want to repurpose the slab

[@-cc9ye]

Did you get an answer anywhere for this?

[@andrewshenton6541]

Hi was this the 0-10mm or 3-50mm bag

[@woozleblog]

So at the top of the video where we are mixing its the thicker 3-50. But we also use the 0-10 where the surface is less deep. Because we are on an angled floor and you can't stop once you start we we put down the deep stuff first and then through on the thin stuff, They do flow at different speeds to self level and are slightly different colours but where we have done this its worked quite well. We find their is quite a difference between the two with the 3-50 being more fibrous. In the floor oyu see us do at the deepest it was about 20mm deep. Hope this answers your question!

[@icarossavvides2641]

18 bags for 25sqr mtrs? useless information if you don't tell us the thickness? And as mentioned elsewhere, not priming the floor is a false economy.

[@Jamie-mt7nc]

Does a primer need to be added over the top of this finished surface before tilling? I did this but some parts of the prime peeled off
