It's the first time of done this and im not a floorer so there are a couple of small dips of 1- 2mm deep 20cm ish circumference. I placed a plank on top and there is a tiny bit of vertical movement when I stand on it. I know the correct thing is to get another couple of bags of NA and add another layer on top but my missus is getting restless for me to finish so i'd prefer not to do that. Does anyone have any...

It varies in thickness from 1mm to around 6mm. It is soft to touch with a sharp object. Can I apply Ardex straight over it, Ardex DPM then N/a or do I need to remove it ?]]> 3 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 23:46:16 +0000 https://theflooringforum.com/threads/wet-concrete-floors-wet-walls.18399/ https://theflooringforum.com/threads/wet-concrete-floors-wet-walls.18399/ invalid@example.com (fixerupper) fixerupper
