    Will a hygrometer give a accurate reading if used over a latex levelling compound?

    I have before and not had a problem mate. Screened a job as floor was dusty. Then did a test to see what moisture level was like. Waited till under 75 then laid floor

    Shouldn’t be a problem if it’s nit to thick and dry

    Do you not use the probe method ?

    I have a Wagner but don’t really use it unless I have to as the probes are so expensive
