    been using level it 2 which is great price for great latex but does take a long time to dry, whats the best for this type of latex at similar price, suitable for underfloor heating also

    Yep, super 30 is good, and goes off real quick.
    Cheap for a rapid as well.

    It has a built in dpm. So you prime and then lay the smoothing compound.

    Only good up to 90% rh tho

    Its cracking gear, but its not cheap
    Have to use the specific liquid and more importantly the specific primer.
    That being said, ive used it loads and between that and NA you cant go wrong when needing a bag n bottle

    L3 gold is very strong also so can be used under wood floors and commercial areas. NA is not strong enough.

    nice one didn't know l3 gold was strong enough to fit wood onto cheers mate, It's a lot cheaper than latex/dpm/latex combo.

    who ever sells bag an bottle should sell primer it has to be primed so they shouldn't really be stocking it without stocking primer that's just asking for people not to prime and end up with it failing

    i havnt seen pricelists with it yet myself, only the normal lquid bottles
    Dnt get confused, it has to be the special moisture system liquid bottles (red label) as opposed to the normal (yellow label) ones
