    Hi all, new member here and hopefully a straightforward question.
    We are fixing engineered oak to a new anhydrite screed with Sikabond MS. It has been sanded/grinded and the ufh commissioned.
    My question is does the screed need to be primed? The sanded surface is quite rough and I would guess quite porous.

    Also, the recommended moisture should be 0.3%CM. What would this equate to in %RH measured with a hygrometer box? I am guessing around 55% as 0.5%cm is roughly equivalent to 65%rh.

    Many thanks

    Thanks Merit. The sika datasheet sYs one is not needed but I was dubious.
    Any recommendations, acrylic, epoxy?

    Acrylic as long as the subfloor is dry

    Tramex told me that 0.3 was roughly 75% rh, we are waiting on a subfloor to dry to start a karndean installation
