Are you happy that it keys the adhesive in to the screed properly?

TF
Yes. It keys nicely now ive added the extra weights onto the bottom of the handle. Spreads adhesive fast and with a life on price its a valuable tool. Would recomend to anyone on a larger flat floor.

How much adhesive do you put into it in one go and do you have to make it wetter
Paul Finn
TF
About a quatre of a large yellow bucket.
As for making the mix wetter, im using a small tile on a flat floor with no build so I personally prefer my mix a tad more smoother as I feel its gets better coverage/stick on back of tile.
Ive not made a stiffer mix with it yet so couldnt really comment on that but id imagine from using it that aslong as its not very stiff then it would spread just fine.
Id also imagine the brand of adhesive could also make a difference with regards to stiffness as some adhesives such as webber and granfix are smoother like a chewy when mixed and brit adhesives and mapei tend to be more sandy/gritty in texture
I just got a new grinder blade and hand polishing pads.. going up in the world
