wrong milk for self levelling compound
I have a cement floor with a ceramic tile on it which is non porus. I'm putting a levelling compound on which is ball stop gaps general purpose smoothing underlay fast setting formula (green bag). I should apparently be using milk 114 latex for non porus flooring however I've been supplied milk 128 latex for porus flooring. What would happened if I used the latex 128. Would it just take longer to set. ( I have the p131 primer)

Re: wrong milk for self levelling compound
Can't you just lift the old tiles?

Re: wrong milk for self levelling compound
you could return the milk in exchange for the right one
i wouldnt risk it as theres probably a very good reason for producing different milks

Re: wrong milk for self levelling compound
DO NOT USE IT
Greenbag 114 can be used on BOTH surfaces.
Greenbag 128 can ONLY be used on porous.
Therefore if you have a non-porous surface (which you do) then Greenbag 128 is absolutley the wrong thing to put down.
If you are in any doubt then the following pdf might give you a more detailed instructions.
You only have two choices here..
1) Take the product back and replace.
2) Remove the tiles and get back to the concrete.
