    Right lads got a job where I need to use a dpm and it needs to set fast so I can screed over with a fast dry screed. In your opinion what's the quickest one to dry. Usually I will use either ardex 1c or rapid and go and come back next day to fit or latex . However this job requires me to do a sandwich and the window is 10 hours before traffic comes rushing in. Any thoughts

    Concrete rough so I plan on latex then dpm , but need to latex again to protect dpm before foot traffic. I planned on using altro solo uni fast track , get some heating and blowers going on and hope for best. Just wondered if anyone had done this before.

    It won't work Dpm dries through a chemical reaction & you need to make sure the laxtex is completely dry before you Dpm it not just walk on hard or you'll have problems

    I've been informed by Uzin that their moisture control can be used on no existing Dpm. Sets in couple hrs

    I had to get a 40m2 kitchen fully prepped early this week and I did the same.
    managed to latex (level it 2 ultra floor) at 7am, F77 down at 1:30pm, top coat screed at 5pm, cleaned up, crap out and loaded and out the door for 6.30pm. I was surprised how quick that Level it screed was drying, love the stuff now!
    I love my new itools mixing station

    I like uzin's system, where the Dpm is part of the screed. So no messing & get it down in 1 hit after you've primed the floor. #wellquick
