All joking aside @Andy Allen you can easily do as Marc says and use ARDITEX NA - http://www.ardex.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18
under and above a range of DPM's, but it's better to stick with the one manufacturer. I certianly wouldn't walk from the job over it.

Yes I've used them a lot over the years. It's not rocket science, you just need to make sure there's no contamination on the substrate, get a long haired roller and tray and stick strictly to the instructions and your good to go.
Some of them require you to flash the floor with coarse sand while you go along after you've applied the DPM to give a key for the self leveller.

Prices will vary hugely depending on where you are and how much you buy. For products like this I find soft flooring trade suppliers much more competitive as they would sell alot of it. Are there any Mercado outlets near where you are?

Last epoxy DPM I used was easy, but messy ruined my trousers lol yea as above, had to blind it with sand as I went, am looking forward to seeing what this surpress it is like

Level it 2 is, surprisingly, only around £17 in Topps. I was under the impression it had to be a 2 part on a liquid dpm.

isn't it all dependant on what / how you prime the DPM before levelling or tiling ?

I imagine you're right there Julian. Prime plus grip or equivalent then single part leveller?

Sorry Marc it's Arditex Na

Don't shoot the messenger lol

Haha don't apologise ya nutta! I'd of pounced on it too if I'd of been you! Haha
Sorry had to take a phone call as I was trying to post.
All you need to watch @Andy Allen is the rate of coverage mate. You must lay down the correct amount per m2
Otherwise it can be ineffective.
You can do it with a notch trowel, that'll give you the required amount per m2 then flatten it off.
Don't be silly Andy, I've no idea what size notch! Haha I just know it can be done that way!
There are different primers available that are compatible. I'd suggest you use the same system throughout mate, from primer, dpm and leveller and adhesive. You got choice of three I know. Ardex, Isomat and TM.
Hope this helps hehe
