    Default Matching SLC

    I went to see a job where a customer had put down Wickes SLC, I'll need to lay some more to bring it all level.
    I just wondered whether it matters if I use a different make of SLC or I should keep to the same make?

    cheers

    at the end of the day I really don't bother too much about cross branding slc and using a different brand addy, if it's all cement based and poly modified and you've primed inbetween coats, is it really gonna make that much of a difference?
