    Funny you say that about CL Daz, I've noticed it being quite chalky lately and quite dusty, thought it was me but since they bought out there new additions I'm finding the CL doesn't feel quite the same.

    Been using alot of the Fball aqua pro 1500 and find that quite nice to work with but wreaks of bad eggs sometimes :D

    Renovation still for me when able.
    Mapei NA I just didn't ever properly get on with really

    Use ardex NA for everything unless I need a fast track. Hate the mape NA it’s my worst screed by a country mile.

    I tend to use F Balls 1500 a lot but it is a bit pricier. A rep is trying to get me to try the new Kellmore screeds but I haven’t heard anything about them yet.

    Do you get that eggy smell when you use that 1500?
    I like it though, it's a good screed but like you say it is abit pricey.

    All this rage about the tilemaster's mvs screed from the rep and there's still full pallets down the suppliers, was going to give it a go but seems an odd screed to me

    Iv been trying a few different compounds lately after always using fball 300 and occasionally 1200.
    I went through a pallet of ultrafloor multipro was impressed with it .
    Although slight hairlines cracks on Job that was left for 5 days , I did have heating cranked right up during screeding and day after tho .

    I tried some kelmore flex and fibre on small job , was impressed with that and just bought a load of kelmore more flow to try so will see what happens ,
    Why not try fball 1400 daz ? Heard it’s really good and very similar if not better than cl

    Kellmore was started by the same guy that owned Tilemaster. Kellmore are good products available in many independent flooring distributors throughout the country.

    PS: I don't work for them so have no skin in the game:)

    Was using fast track 30 but switched to kerakoll proflow rapid lately, it’s really good gear & moisture tolerant

    Cl not drying well ive found. May have to start using cl plus as standard. Cant go wrong with Na unless you under estimate the bags. Few extra on the job and its painfullly expensive
    Fball screeds all smell of eggs for some bizarre reason.
    Mapie na good when its good but mapie so inconsistent.
    We used Tilemaster for ages and really liked it. Then had a few bags not setting and cant take the risk with it anymore. Poor customer couldnt get in the kitchen for dinner
