    Hello all. The customer has bought a tin of Ardex dpmc1 to use on a old 14sm concrete slab before ufh goes down. Looking for advice on laying the stuff quickly.
    Read the instructions and a bit concerned about the stuff going off half way through spreading as they say it has a 20 min pot life or does it last a bit longer?
    Going to use a a2 trowel then roller off as per instructions or do you guys use any thing different?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    If you can't do 14m2 in 20 minutes drink less tea during the works

    You spread and have someone roll it for you to make it easier but you'll be alright, just keep on it

    Don’t leave it in the pot...... tip it out in sections onto the floor gives you longer...... leave it in tin and it starts to go off

    You have to check how porus the subfloor is before you put it down If you get pin holes it won't be effective
