Is anyone experiencing problems with level it red bag,yellow bag, or shlurple the purple bag? Did a six bag mix to a kitchen this week over warerock neet primed with prime it upon mixing red bag super 30 it had a green tinge on mixing put it down and it had gone off inside 5 minutes with the obvious spiky roller marks left behind. 2 more jobs this week one with purple bag over ply neet primer again looked fine when finished but the customer phoned and said it was seven hours before he could walk on it.Went back to take a look some of the ply had delaminated due to the excessive drying time and there were reaction marks all over the floor! Went back to the first job on the same day as this one primed over the red bag with the same primer and put yellow bag on for the second skim that when dry also was very pock marked, So the primer is the common denominator with them 2 jobs but the red bag was must have been a bad batch and yes it was 3 months in date. We usually think this is the rolls Royce of screeds but 3 problems in one week has any one else experienced similar?
Level it two really isn’t suitable for ply Even though it’s said to be ok for 15mm or thicker How thick is the ply? Could you not of just feathered it? Had problems with level it two drying very inconsistently, moisture puddles in random places throughout the floor and trowel marks. All primed with prime it. Can’t speak for the other level it screeds you’ve mentioned never used and have absolutely no plans to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Rolls Royce of screeds ...are you pi**ed already. Who gave you that impression lol Where does it say purple bag can be used on plywood? Bond it yellow bag for ply. ....anyway STOP using instarmac it's as simple as that! To much inconsistent results. They started out great but went down hill in my books real quick. ARDEX CL for a budget screed and mapei renovate for ply (for me)
Says on data sheet purple is suitable for ‘screwed and fixed 15mm and thicker flooring grade plywood’ which is laughable. But agree ardex CL is best budget screed by a mile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Cheers for that level it 2 is rated at 6nm I think where as na is 7nm I have made my BOSS aware of this but as usual blah blah blah... P.s its over 6 mm ply over a sound floor but it still should not have taken 7 hours to go off.
Wouldn’t be using anything over ply apart from NA to be honest I know there’s others that work but that’s just my preference. If you’re gonna use instarmac then I’d be using level it flex/ super flex 30 (red). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've just looked on their site and I can't see where it says that level it 2 can be used on ply. Have they been sneaky?
It does say that on the bags, I have tried it, and would not use it again over ply. I don`t particularly like the Level it Flex either. Used a pallet of Level It 2 this week, no issues.
Never knew that, checked their data sheet on their site but couldn't see it. I've used bond-it over ply with no probs. I've got 3 bags of bond in my man cave and doing a prep ready for a ceramic tiler so I'll use them
If it’s not written at the top of the first page of the data sheet or front of the bag I class that as it’s not really suitable only possible if your luck is in

Sneaky! They should state it on their data sheet on their site, not just random places. Anyway level it 2 can level right off ....after 7hrs of course.
Where were you looking? I found it here. http://www.instarmac.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Ultra_Floor_Level_IT_Two_Apr15.pdf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
NA is 16Nm2 don’t know where you get 6 from, you need to check 28 day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I clicked it from here: http://www.instarmac.co.uk/ultraflo...gh-flow-two-component-smoothing-underlayment/
I just checked the dates on the data sheets and yours is the updated one mate, one I posted is from 2015. Either way wouldn’t be using it over any subfloor let alone ply!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
