Buddy I know what you mean but I’ve just not had great results with flexi and I wa surprised as you sound but I e had no failures with the green tube gripfill
Can’t see any issue bonding to a smoothing compound unless is something dusty like renovation screed or Uzin
You need to work in whatever you’re sticking. Get good transfer and flatten it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well after 150 m2 worth all popped off the floor everytime it’s stretched on I won’t touch it now. Plus you have to leave it a minimum 24 hours. 99p a tube says it all really. Not for me
We use the 30mm mechanical dual pin gripper and flexifix it on the powerfloated concrete, its the best gripper ive used for it, the width of the actual gripper stick gives some balance to the pin and helps it not bend or snap. id say i get 80% of the nails in first try and its strong enough to power stretch within 2 or 3 hours. Although i will say i do seem to be better than most at getting pins into the powerfloat floors.
Yeah I mean I don’t use grip fill as a go to, the shop I was subbing to provided it as I didn’t need to install same day , but the last time I power stretched on it next day and didn’t get any pop up , but I had gripper pop with flexi when using kicker other week so didn’t fancy using flexi with that in mind Maybe I’ve been lucky with gripfill as the general consensus is it’s shite haha
Stretched on flexy yesterday it was sound - I must have had a bad experience one time Gripper was solid as anything yesterday
