    Nice work. Just a suggestion, If you wet concrete floor first and allow it to absorb for 10-20mins, the cement slurry wont dry out as quick and the cement bed will stick better

      Thank you 🙏😊. Yes if the floor is very porous I usually wet it first but if not I do it as i go. I usually like to do section by section as I move towards the door to avoid getting the cement under my feet and walking it on my dropsheets lol. I'm a bit of a clean freak.

    Nice work and nice video. Very helpful for us DIYers. One question... how long are you leaving screed to dry/cure before you go to your next steps (presumably waterproofing, then tiling)? Thanks in advance!

      Thank you very much 🙏🙏😊
      Let's say the temp is 22 degrees average, If you're a Diy er give the cement bed 2 days to dry then waterproof the first coat then the next day the second coat, give that a day to dry before you glue down the tiles. That's the safe way.

      Thank you very much. I would put hardies tile underlay on it before doing anything. Then reinforcement wire in the screed then waterproof on-top to falls and glue the tiles down

    Hey mate if you do screed over the Davco K10 Plus, what do you use for slurry?

      Add bondcrete into the slurry, slurry is neat cement with a little sand mostle neat cement.

    Did you use a primer under the screed or just the slurry?

    • @Jaxtiling1

      No primer just a slurry

    What’s slurry bro ????

    • @Jaxtiling1
      @Jaxtiling1  23 дні тому +1

      It's cement mixed with water and brushed over the floor wet, so that when you apply the sand and cement mix over it, it Bonds to the concrete
