    Uzin 196
    Ardex K40 HB

    Ardex FA20 and Balls 700.
    Both brill!

    Tried the K40HB and don’t like the finish, it’s too dense. Struggle like f**k rubbing/sanding it down, never mind having issues getting adhesives too stick to it.

    Little dicky bird tells me to steer clear from instarmac even though I do anyway but I know of someone who put down near 60 bags of it couple weekends ago and it's was a mess, apparently peeled off the floor in random places and puddles all over the shop :rolleyes:

    I like the k40hb but don't go anywhere near as far as the renovation. All I use is the mapei for fibre based.
    The Uzin one is OK if you got a couples day's between fitting.
