    Yes. Can't get anyone to do the floors so I'm trying to do it myself. Why are you going to advice me on here?

    Ardex Na, Ardex dpm1c, then top with Ardex NA within 48 hours. The subfloor will need to be clean so the NA can bond to it.
    You should really get a pro in as the ardex dpm1c is a epoxy resin and not the nicest stuff to handle/inhale

    Aslong as you can get a even uniform coverage and there's no cracks an definitely no magnesite Its good to go
