Hi All,

Ho long should I leave the polythene on top of newly laid screed? I have left it 4 days now......ist that long enough or does it need longer?

I have recently put a 60 mm screed down in 2 sections.

The first section I left the sheet on for 2 weeks.
The 2nd came off after 5 days.

Both look exactly the same to me.

It will dry more rapidly when the sheet comes off, so I suppose the longer you can keep it on the better. But thats just my opinion.

I was advised to cover it with polythene after laying the screed. I have removed it now after 5 days.
