Best liquid DPM

[moomarine]

Anyone know or have used a liquid DPM before?

Got a job coming up where I was going to be levelling and tiling a ground floor kitchen area. The customer has lifted the old tiles and has discovered damp patches on the solid floor. They have asked their builder to look at it who has told them to get me to put a liquid DPM down before levelling. Has anyone got experience of this stuff? I am almost going down the route of cancelling this job as I obviously don't want to tile anything that's damp.

Any advice/opinion would be much appreciated.

Do you know if it can be SLD'd over?

This one of my worries but being honest I know not a lot about DPM

I've used them extensively @moomarine.
Stick to brands that make products for soft flooring, they're the best. Use one system from start to finish.
Go for Ardex, Tremco, FBall or Uzin for example and you can't go wrong, certainly don't give the job up over it. If you go for one of the brands I'm recommending it's easy and belt and braces.
If you want to let me know what you can get your hands on I'll steer you right.

I've used f.ball f76 many times, as @LEE MAC says, use one system from start to finish and you'll be fine.

Ardex for me, DPM1C. Use Ardex NA to level it afterwards. I'm using this on Monday so I can lay some vinyl on a new screed

Ardex do a excellent one and will that smoothing compound ontop as well , Instarmac also do one aswell and then use there smoothing compound ontop . Both are excellent and have used both on various projects and with excellent results
