Default Laying Arditex NA

I've used a few leveling products in the past, but I'm not in the
floor laying business, nor have I used this product before.

I am looking at laying it to a concrete subfloor which previously had
parquet flooring installed. I have etched away at the
bitumous/ asphalt adhesive as much as possible to give a clean key,
although the arditex NA can adhere to this background, as long as it's
sound (hard not soft).

I have an area 3.4m x 4.3m to fill and match up to the screeded floor
level of an adjoining extension, about 27mm above the current floor
level in the room where the parquet tiles have been removed.

I will be using Arditex aggregate in combination with the NA, to build
up the thickness and keep costs reasonable.

I am looking for advice on how to attack the floor, what stages and
drying times I should allow. AFAIK, I am to combine the aggregate with
the NA for the first layer and then smooth over with a neat
application of NA.

But, do I do the whole floor in one hit, up to, just below final
layer, or do I batten off and do it in strips, moving away from the
screeded level, I am trying to match... quite a lot of gear to go down
and I'm not sure whether to do thick layers, in strips, and move away
from the start point, or do a whole floor application and then just
walk all over it to go back to the starting edge and build up, again,
whilst moving backwards, to be repeated until up to finish level!

Does this make sense? Just not quite sure how to build up to 25-27mm,
with what's mixed, retain it and then move back and do the next strip,
up to 25-27mm!

Any pointers, guides, tips would help me no end...

thanks a lot...

deano.
