It cracks very often but doesn’t often blow. Spider/hairlines. Wont matter. With that self level its good to 2 coat it

I lot of other people say that they 2 coat it as well.i used the wickes brand primed it laid to max 6 mm thickness it dried perfect days later started cracking..told her I would re lay it for no charge but she had to buy the materials.. said to buy a different brand of screed.never had a floor crack before .oh well apart from that had a s**t start to the weekend as it was without getting that phone call today..we live in hope of winning the lottery so I can f**k off away from this s**t!

I personally wouldn't use wickes mate but I've used all sorts mate done s**t loads of floor skims. always 2 coat tho to build depth . they very often to spider web crack but not blow so is fine. the floors usually laid before anyone notice. do you spike roll it?

Maybe try some of that fairy dust on your fuckked up floor u spacker,and try a decent product instead of diy shite u bell end

Good stuff I usually do it the night before n skim dry same as i do with pva

I think main thing is like been said before it's very tempting to water it down to make it spread further but only weakens the mix! That's more likely the reason it's failed.

You could be right about the spr mix I watered it down maybe too much water I done another floor a couple of days ago but used a stronger mix going to see take a look tomorrow to see if it has cracked
