BAL bal flex bone 2 easy

[Just Rizzle]

I'm more concerned about sanding it 5 days after laying the tiles😵

the screediers are sanding it as part of there contract 5days after the screed is layed. stupid if sanding after tiling. i missed the full stop out.

yes hoping to

were sanding to allow the hard layer on the surface to be removed as this will allow drying to happen quicker were running 4 big fans 24hrs a day to circulate the air so allowing drying faster.
the hard surface layer slows down drying as it helps retain the moisture.

Dehumidifiers will speed it up. Ask bal what %rh they allow with flexbone and get a hygrometer on it. Keep us posted on your findings

@Python Adhesives can sort flexbone and give you an m40 spec @RayTheTiler

I had a grout issue with them recently. Totally washed their hands of it. Topps, however, paid out. Their aggressive marketing and p*** poor customer service has started to grate
Thought a forum sponsor should get the nod too

I think we busted that myth some time ago, no evidence to suggest that sanding aids drying. @Ajax123

Had exactly the same . Grout issue topps paid some money but bal said there was nothing wrong with it . I wasn't happy, customer wasn't happy with grey grout in limestone but apparently in their colour parameters . Great company , but apparently just invented a new floating decoupling membrane , just blows your mind because I've never seen anything like it before . Also next week they are inventing something called the wheel .

bal will come and test for right moisture content

no evidence to show it dos not either. but air circulation dose

Ineed it does ray. In fact the absolute key to drying calcium sulphate screeds is air movement. This should be avoided for the first 72 hours of the screeds life but after this the more ventilation the better.
