Never used it but at 4 hours by the time that's dry could have stuck 3 or 4 metres with the TM or Ultra..
its all about planning your day.
nip in and do it the evening before, or what I'm doing today. Ufh and levelled by 9, then load out and get bits ready and then i will start a wall after 1.5 to 2 hrs when walkable.
I read somewhere TM tileable after 1.5 hrs, right/wrong?

the difference between Level It and the Bal product is the depth of which you can lay it at - horses for courses if you need the added depth although personally, I would screed it myself in s&c if I needed 80mm build up and then use a green screed adhesive.

I agree but it was Julian who mentioned the Bal so I just added a caveat.
that's it Tom blame me for igniting the TM debate again ;)
it was @Andy Allen who asked if Bal did anything, probably because he like me has got a TM stockist near by and @LEE MAC who sad Bal did one.

a sales pitch for TM after 30 mins for OP @Lee@TileTown ;) must have fell in your tea break :)

i do struggle to get TM products but popped into the suppliers today and they do both the TM and bal rapid slc.....so spoilt for choice ......I like the fact the TM drys quicker but bal can go thicker.....decision's , decision's.....

yes I do use CTD Lee, mainly because I get great service and price, as I'm sure if i lived up your neck of the woods I use your outlet, plus here these no other outlet's around of note.

I have tried some TM adhesive, well twice, but not the leveller. Don't dispute its good gear, how can I, it's liked and used by many a notable member .
