wrong milk for self levelling compound

[kitcheners]

I have a cement floor with a ceramic tile on it which is non porus. I'm putting a levelling compound on which is ball stop gaps general purpose smoothing underlay fast setting formula (green bag). I should apparently be using milk 114 latex for non porus flooring however I've been supplied milk 128 latex for porus flooring. What would happened if I used the latex 128. Would it just take longer to set. ( I have the p131 primer)

Can't you just lift the old tiles?

 

[kitcheners]

sadly not as half the floor is concerete to the same level.

You could lift the tiles, then self level to hight of concrete

 

[mikethetile]

you could return the milk in exchange for the right one

i wouldnt risk it as theres probably a very good reason for producing different milks

Sounds about right, not familiar with the product myself

DO NOT USE IT

Greenbag 114 can be used on BOTH surfaces.
Greenbag 128 can ONLY be used on porous.

Therefore if you have a non-porous surface (which you do) then Greenbag 128 is absolutley the wrong thing to put down.

If you are in any doubt then the following pdf might give you a more detailed instructions.

You only have two choices here..
1) Take the product back and replace.
2) Remove the tiles and get back to the concrete.
