    my local supplier said you got to try this, all the fitters swear by it.
    Now, i'll try anything once (filthy Minds :lol: )

    this is bit of gumph about it.

    An ultra-fast setting, hardening, self-levelling, smoothing compound containing fibres. Suitable for applying on most surfaces which should be cleaned and primed before application. Its flexibility makes it ideal for use with underfloor heating. Up to 50mm depth in one go! Coverage is 2m² per bag at 6mm depth..

    Anyway, i always use 700 and swear by it so whatever i try has a lot to live up to.
    Mixed a bag with correct guidlines of water, mixed and poured lovely, got the floor looking like glass, at least i thought i did when it dried in a couple of hours, i couldn't believe at how uneven it had set. i spent another half hour rubbing it down. I didn't use a roller because i don't with 700 and to be honnest didn't see it on the bag.Was it my fault? maybe, but when i looked at it with the shine and light that floor was perfect.It is priced around £13 cheaper than flex down south.
    Will i use it again? i should really try it again with a roller this time but let's just say i bought 2 bags of 700 today.
    Anyone else used it and what's your thoughts?

    Used levelflex quite alot when its goin cheap.
    Not bad gear but found the same thing of not sitting flat.
    Leaves a rough finish too I found.
    Just been offered a pallet at £5 unit plus vat.
    Its in the level zone bags??? some cock up. Said no as it needs pickin up an have no where to put it.

    I got some of the £5 a bag level flex in level zone bags. Never again.
    I think it was level zone. Not happy so getting 6 free real bags now.
    Morale of story, when it's real cheap, there's a reason :(

    Yeah I think it was, mixed it with water as was told 100% it was level flex in the wrong bag. I couldn't see an fibres in it so was worried.
    It was weird though, don't think it was level flex but it was the same colour
