    Alright peeps customer looking for their garage floor to be smoothed out, they say it is rough and just wanting to be smooth as will be using for storage and no cars so am thinking latex will be too dusty, any suggestions before I go see?

    yep K11 a good product. Personally i would use Mapei latexplan or Fballs 200 in a garage tho. To much moister in places like that for a water based product

    200 spikes well but dont flow like 300. Latexplan flows about the same.

    uzin's gear is excellent, just difficult to come by only floorwise near me sell them and they don't have a massive range for different jobs like fball, ardex and mapei do

    There is a bag and bottle uzin latex that's white and as runny as water we were shown it at quickstep that's was a great one to play with but took 48 before a floor covering could go on but can't remember what it's called

    there is decent choice although Uzin don't seem to sell well in my area so I guess they just sell what can be turned over quickly, most suppliers stock laybond etc... cheapo products in my eyes only the best should be stocked

    Uzin don't have a massive range? Are you joking!!! They do about 13 different screeds. I went their demo day. Very impressed. You can buy it from lee Floorstock in Manchester.
