That's 5 hours I won't get back, hopefully it won't look like the moon tomorrow!

And think of the smug look you can have on your face tomorrow if it works.
Don't forget mix to max water content,
LET IT STAND for 2-3mins
and re mix with mechanical mixer
and good luck.

Thanks, I'll just have to use the spiked roller in the gaps I guess

Your first set of images when you first latex'd the roller marks were visible.
You either waited to long or you over used it.
Use roller immediately and don't return to that area, only along edges of the join. As soon as the latex starts to go, the roller will pull it out if you keep going over same spot.
This is why it was suggested earlier that you have everything ready to go, even the buckets of water. There's no down time, it's full speed from min you mix first bucket.

I'd say I over used it then, ok cheers.

Wasn't the best day but it is better, so we used up all of the 10 bags, ran out, spiked roller was seized so troweled it, there are some ridges but at most they are a few mm, so another 10 bags turning up today, I will use the spirit level to push a little bit in centre, doesn't look great but the cables are fully covered and it's pretty level apart from a slight ridge which I hope to sort out today.

So you've used about 22 bags so far and another 10 to go. And if I'am correct this was to cover 3mm UFH cable. Excluding any labour costs it must be about £500 and rising. For those planning to do it themselves it's certainly worth making a note.

Spiked roller was seized by who?
