    Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel

    Best setters I've had have been carbon. The metal remains true. Some SS I've had have warped. Normally once they have become good for setting.

    3/2 lime putty finish not curing

    There is a lot of stuff in that building at 100% relative humidity . I would suggest gauging your fine stuff with plaster of Paris to make it hydraulic . But only if your float coat is 100 % dry .

    Utiform Quattro vs m tech m 300

    Purchased an M Tec from Ryan 4 years ago. This machine has performed outstandingly , never missed a beat , only had to replace wear and tear parts such as the R/S , spray nozzles and dossing screws. Only negative I have on this machine is that it's bulky ness and small wheels make it awkward to...

    screed

    If you have the tolerance , which hasn't been established . Just lay a traditional Sbr modified screed , to a cement / SBR slurry . Go 25mm on highest point to 75mm lowest point .

    Vat on a new build?

    A word of advise. If your zero rating invoices for " new build " , make sure you gather some proof that the contract was new build. If you have an inspection you may be asked for evidence. A copy of the completion certificate will suffice.
