    Further to my post in the "Wood" section, my customer has uplifted his wood floor but unfortunately damaged an area of the asphalt (about a square metre he says).

    I am going to get this repaired and then use Mapei prim grip and latexplan.
    I spoke to Mapei technical about how long I should leave the asphalt before going over it and he advised 2/3 weeks to allow for any (forgotten the word) to evaporate but to ask the guys who are doing the repair to advise. The asphalt guy said I could do it more or less straight away.

    What does anyone else do in this situation.

    Help please.

    I did this floor today - all ok but in one area there was a step in the floor and the screed didn't quite level it.

    I know I should really use more Mapei but does anyone see a problem if I used Ardex na on this?

    And something else..........went back to check just how much the screed needed to be rectified and the Mapei latexplan screed that I did has laitance.

    Could this have been caused by over spiking and will stoning it down prepare it for lvt?

    Over spikeing does do that mate. I reckon rub it down & prime it just to be safe ;)

    Yup totally agree!
    NA and L3 gold are the top 2 bag/bottles ive ever used
    Shame they cant be a tad cheaper, esp the l3 moisture system
