    What primer and adhesive - underfloor calcium sulphate

    If using flexbone, as far as I'm aware, the screed must be 87% rh or lower

    Laitence removal, sanding

    That will work but you might want to consider dust extraction and ask them to supply diamond cups for that STR because sanding pads wont be sufficient (in my opinion) 180sm should be 2 days work (ish) good luck

    Anhydrite prep set up

    60 grit sanding pads wont be enough for sanding off laitance Copper disc or diamond cups will do it but you may need some dust extraction depending on how dry the screed is This is something I have been doing a lot more of and have invested in some good gear and have opened up another business...
