    Hi aph257,

    I've used Tilemaster Levelflex a few times now, the coverage is usually 5m2 per bag at 3mm thickness approx., your minimum thickness at the high point should be 3mm, at 15mm thickness you would get 1m2 coverage, so you would need 2 bags to cover the area if it's all at 15mm depth. I hope that helps.

    Yeah man, you really have to baton it off at kitchen units to stop it running away, and even then it sometimes gets through any small gap underneath, and I do mix it to the recommended amount. But when it goes off, boy oh boy is it hard to grind down with a carb stone!, so I try to get it bang on each time to save sweating later on. Good gear though once it's in place imo. .
