Just like to know after you lay the screeding sand at 50mm whether you

1. Compact the sand before you lay the screed rails ?

2. Compact the sand after you lay the screed rails ?

3. Or just rake out the screeding sand and screed it as
it lays without compacting it at all !

Many Thanks for your help in advance !
