    .. improved open time when using F48 for lvt? The job is small plank herringbone direct to skirting. Or do people here mostly dry fit section by section? Work approaches welcome.

    To be clear, the subfloor was primed with P131 and then 1200 on top.

    I never prime back over the screed, I use TLC/ke66 on the field and sometimes use Uzin Ke49 for the border (I do borders first).

    If its no border and straight to skirts then I use Ke49 for the edges section by section to give me that little more time sometimes. Never had any issues.

    I wouldn't recommend priming screed especially for a wet set adhesive The primer can prohibited the adhesive from soaking in and it may take a life time to set.

    Try using ke49 for parquet It grabs wet after 5-10mins airtime and stays wet for quite a while on screed so you can get plenty down and still get a good bond

    Don’t like primer on screed. Bit like watching paint dry when you put the adhesive down

    That’s why I stopped buffing screeds as it leaves a dust finish and polished then you have to prime.

    Thanks for all your replies.

    I always sand and my latexing is considered decent. I think Spacey said he didn't sand with CL. I'm guessing he uses a rake towel and standard trowel on edges. Is this not sanding latex standard here?

    Can't remember the last time I sanded my latex.
    Use mine to sand of old adhesive and copper plating more

    If your getting a dusty finish/laitance its down to poor air ventilation when its drying
