    Got a bag of super 30, levelit 2 and the water based smooth flow.

    Doing a floating engineered wood over the next few days and needed to smooth out / raise some areas do used all 3.

    Super 30 was good but I wouldn't use more than 2 or 3 bags on my own. If someone was mixing, I'd hsppily use it on a largeish job.

    Smoothflow was great. I'm going to use it on next LVT job.

    Levelit 2 was okay but I prefer tradeplan.

    Overall, pretty impressed.

    Used alot of level it 2, love it. Seamed thick to me but dried lovely an flat.
    Used level it 3 on 3 jobs with the bond it bottle, 1st job didn't flow well but after that was ok.
    Got a few bags of smooth flow an super 30 to use.

    So how soon is it safe to lay LVT over the quick drying smoothing compounds?

    Think a hour? But not used any ( on site ) so would have to see.

    I know they say you can lay floor coverings with in a few hours but never trusted them to do it.

    I've been using the level it screeds this week , thought I'd have a try at something different. I found that they were going off too quick . You need someone mixing for you and have a constant supply so you can say on your knees and get it done soon as poss. Done a big extension and found that it is impossible to join bays up without it going off . So next day had to rub down joins and feather . Apart from that it was lovely and smooth dried fantastic....obviously

    Used a bag of super 30 today and it was dry in 30 mins no joke ,that stuff is amazing . Apparently you can cover in three hours , I believe it too.
