    Default Mapei Rapid Set Flex. Is it OK for slate?

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help. Yesterday I was sold some Mapei rapid Set Flex to fix our slate tiles to G-Mat. I didn't actuall read the packet as the sales staff recommended it for the job.
    Upon getting it home I have read it is only for non moisture effected natural stone.
    Our slate is a flat grey colour so I'm now worried that it will colour the slate.
    Please can anyone advise? Have I bought the wrong adhesive?
    Thanks
    Deb

    It will be fine...

    Moisture sensitive stones tend to be light coloured limestones and marbles etc..
