Help.

I've poured a latext screed to a depth of 10 mm, the bag said 6mm, but what the hell I though!!!

It's cracking like there's no tomorrow. Would it be doing this anyway, or should I expect worse to come?

By worse, I mean could it disassociated with the floor beneath. What should I expect to see (worse case scenario).
 
Worst case scenario is you could see a big pile of scraped up latex screed
where you have had to chisel it up as its not stuck to the substrate of the floor. Normally if you wanted 10mm thickness you would do two lots on top of each other.

...or you would follow the MIs. For example, some specify the use of special chips to bulk out and bind the screed - a form of aggregate if you will.
 
Quite so.......for example the Cempolatex I`ve been using recommends sharp washed sand ;)
