Is it still easy to use....?
Keep getting vision's of it going off before get chance to level it..

Yep, just turn off the heating in the house while you do it

Its fine at this time of year, just gotta be all set up with plenty of water at the ready in the summer and don't stop mixing and pouring till whole floors done..
For leveling over ufh i use 1" strips of 6mm insulation boards, stuck to level or flat with ady and split floor into 1m wide runs over ufh mats, just pour a load in at one end and pull 4ft level over strips...

I use Tilemaster fineflow 3000 because it flows and is one of the cheapest around. Setting time is on the slow side and is a minus point.

Mapei Renovation screed is also excellent for the slow setting variety.

Rocatex fibre flow is excellent is you can get hold of it

Mapei recently already have a rapid version, Ultraplan Maxi

I usually use bal level max but used mapei renovation screed on my last job. They are fairly similar, but mapei seemed to flow a little more.

I have used both recently,depending on which was on offer at the time. But at low thickness levels I wouldn't call them 'self leveling'

Agree! You can’t use a spiked roller with Bal either.
