rapid set

[davebates]

Hi guys , so i go into tile shop this morning still half asleep to pick up my adhesive for the day ive got 400 x 200 wickes ceramic tiles to fit to skimmed plaster board in a bathroom, shower area has been tanked and all area's primed with sbr, so im after a rapid set for said job. The chap in the some says i shouldn't use cement based on bathroom walls the only place it should be used is swimming pools and also rapid set will do something to glaze on the ceramics and definitely shouldn't be used at this point being half awake im starting to question my self, he then proceeds to try to flog me tubbed gear which says will go off in a bout a week. I stick to my guns about wanting bagged addy but end up with slow set. I know hes incorrect about cement based in the bathroom but is there a query about rapid set and ceramic tiles ???

cheers
