Solid Floor Dilemma

depending on the rh% in the concrete a water mix could fail spectacularily you really need a compressive strength of 30 nm or over, well worth getting a pro to prep the area first will save you tons of cash in the long run.

 

So why can't you use green bag?

 

it's flexural strength is lower than latexplan too

So depending on rh in screed are you saying a latex mix won't fail ?

 

less likely they are more moisture tolerant than a water mix as long as you prime with epoxy primer

 

the f ball you posted there mate is out of date
theres a 2012 edition

So green bag is 30 nm with the 128 liquid so what is the problem.
My mate graham is going to be in massive trouble soon then, I mean what does he know??

 

that's the one i thought i posted mate, max compression strength 20nm

 

The one you posted said 30

 

yeah that was the old one when green bag wwas decent

 

Nothing wrong with it now been using it for 10 years.

 

don't like balls latex's their water based are better, although think ardex mapei uzin are all better.

 

have you used them all?

 

I been using f balls since i first started 20+yrs ago
Tho i like to see/use others, if nothing else but to see whats new out there etc
Majority of balls gear is solid
Tho id like to see a dpm/screed combo in the nr future
also a screed akin to NA etc

 

Think daz is getting at
dont knock em less youve tried em etc
I try em all! lol
bit like tools that way haha

 

used green, blue and red bag prefer NA and latexplan

 

I didn't know people used red bag, I've only ever seen pictures of it and heard the rumers it was produced

 

Never seen red or blue bag in any suppliers that I go in for the past 25 years.

 

it's crap mate, i always try a bag of all screeds to find what i prefer but as cool said balls are solid but there's better out there for cheaper or similar prices although a DPM/screed integration would be awesome.

 

floorwise stock them mate
