    Might help the adhesive going off so quick ? Even help with the ply absorbing less moisture in bathrooms just thought be good idea to do ... Messy but maybe worth ?

    Priming prevent your adhesive "retarding"
    Sucking the mositure out of the glue too quick (esp with f44)

    I prime all my ply floors
    Defo improves adhesion to the plywood

    Also you rarely will get perfectly clean plywood, always have contaminates on them

    Mapai water based screed is good ,so is fball 300 but what ever primer you use has to be the same screed you use in case all else fails . My opinion but love here what everyone else does

    Should be neat according to the spec sheets from Ardex
    But I do 2/1 or 1/1 on ply
    It drys a lot quicker and don't really make much difference on performance

    4/1 over the feather

    Do you not like?

    When I knife the radiator pipe
    I normally flood the ply

    Chinese ply is the best of gear
