Sorry Marc it's Arditex Na ;):D:D

Don't shoot the messenger :( lol

Haha don't apologise ya nutta! I'd of pounced on it too if I'd of been you! Haha
Sorry had to take a phone call as I was trying to post.
All you need to watch @Andy Allen is the rate of coverage mate. You must lay down the correct amount per m2
Otherwise it can be ineffective.
You can do it with a notch trowel, that'll give you the required amount per m2 then flatten it off.
Don't be silly Andy, I've no idea what size notch! Haha I just know it can be done that way!:D
There are different primers available that are compatible. I'd suggest you use the same system throughout mate, from primer, dpm and leveller and adhesive. You got choice of three I know. Ardex, Isomat and TM.
Hope this helps hehe :D:D:D

Have seen several very old quarry floors in good condition and no signs of moisture ( salts ,clouding) , just impregnated with sealers after several months or longer - skirting or even walls swell, or show ingress .if all the above is applied, then porcelain. Do you guys cover yourselves , by taking no responsibility for moisture migration if it happens in these circumstances.

Yeah that was why was asking at the top of the thread about lime screed Bob, for that very reason. Cos I know it can happen if they're sealed up.

Ah lime screed,Sorry mate, if I was to even renovate the quarry's , I would not consider an impregnator, would be maintain only
It's definitely something to be considered mate for sure.
Thing is as I said in beginning, I'm not really up to speed on it. I know @jonnyc has done some.
Maybe @GaryTheTiler has too I don't know.
