[bencurtis]

does anyone use single part flexi on ply floors, i have stripped out a onsuite, hardibackered the walls, and spruce plyed the floor screwed at 4" spacings. can i use single, or do i have to use the 2 part bal jobbie?
cheers Ben

As long as the floor is stable then you can use SPF or rapidset flex doesn't have to be 2 part flexi...

how much flex can a single part take, the floor is stablebut there are a few places where two boards meet ie: ply and the old chipboard, under the stud walls.
cheers dh for you fast responce

SPF or any other hydrated flexi adhesives are designed for minimal movement..If you anticipate more movement then a 2 part should be used....

here is the info on SPF and Rapid flexi and fastflex from bal.....
