    What's your thoughts on buffing screed before LVT? I've never done it myself but seem to be a lot of fitters doing it?
    Thinking of investing in a sander but not sure if it's worth it? I'm mainly domestic with about a dozen commercial jobs a year.
    If I do decide to go for it, what grit sanding discs are you using?
    Cheers fellas

    Well worth having one. I got a reconditioned one one from Mario on here and it’s been going years. I just buy course and medium grit paper from cfs depending what I want to use it on

    We have stopped buffing now. I think it seals the compound and then Adhesive doesn’t stick as well.

    Mainly 300 or NA so bit confused whether latex or water mix is better for buffing?

    Na doesn’t buff down I find it to hard. Like spacey said is over kill for domestic unless it’s a big domestic area
