it is grout as well. nice to work with.....:lol:

best way to find if it is dry is moisture tester. but if u pouring that stuff on your arrival it will b about dry in two months (at 50mm thickness0

the only allowed messure method in germany (for example) is the CM Method. google CM Messgerät. but you need messure points if there is a heating under it.
an anhydrite heating screed has to heating up with a report for a few days.
if the screed is 28 days old and heating up is finalized you can search the wetest points with Gann Hydromette Compact B . but in germany the only permitted method is CM.
