    I would personally do the following,make sure the top surface has been sanded back (should be by the screeding company), P121 then greenbag. Also check the floor for moisture, again this was something that when gyvlon screeds came about the screeders would tell the M/C that it is dry enough to receive floorcoverings.

    very lucky if you get the screeding co. to grind back for you.
    I never have
    Normally grind off the latience, prime then screed (i'll only ever use a gypsum based one)
    Or it WILL pop
    maybe not tomorrow, or the next day, but soon...:-?

    It can be done.
    I have around a 1000 sq m which was ground, one coat dilute primer, one neat, then latex, supacord/vinyl
    Has been down around 8 years now with no problem.
    I did make the mistake of trying the same on a Gyvlon screed, which was not dry. Big fail !
