MY Post just got tagged with a screedflo Anhydrite AD !!!! ---- You probably all guessed that i'm not a fan of the "Devil's" screed ! But just to clear the confusion if you use Ditra matting , Mapelay or similar - you're not actually fixing cement based adhesives to the anhydrite - so the rules have changed. PS if the screed was Topcem you only have to wait days not weeks ! Cliff | |||||||||||

Does the screed still have to be below 2% moisture though Cliff? Would recommend fixing with a contact adhesive? I too hate this screed. | ||||||||||

Brantys spot on, remove the laitance and check the moisture content, Thats a must. then prime thouroughly. both directions allowing to dry in between, one thing they do have going for them is they are flat which you dont get too often these days. Stick to brantys advice you wont have any problems. | ||||||||||

Johnny You will find that Ditra matting is "breathable" albeit with a quite low vapour transmission rate.............but thats how the moisture gets out dock ps provided, as branty points out, the start point is 2% moisture as stated by schluter | ||||||||||
