    Hi was just wondering how you lads use your f46 doing a Karndean blockwood job this weekend with underfloor heating never really used it much in the past do you use a roller on it to stop grinning and do you let it go completely dry before laying into it cheers

    Some would say that Karndean PS and F46 are remarkably alike AND Karndean HT and F48 seem to be peas in a pod too ..... could be wrong mind you ;)

    Think balls make karndeans and mapei make amticos, although both are inferior to balls and mapei own. Regarding ht addy they only work up to 27 c whereas ps go over 32 c, ht is just a get out clause

    Good stuff mucka, I've always reckoned (within reason) each to their own on the adhesives. I worked away with HT for years without hassle, I've started using the universal since doing the Karndean course and can't say I've noticed any major differences apart from the increased price!
