rapid set

[gamma38]

Is anyone using rapid set at the moment, i was in my supplier earlier and they have just had 30mtrs of porcelain gone out, going in a conservatory and the guy insisted on rapid, he must be a superman. The pot life must only be about 5 mins i would have thought:yikes:

I had got all materials in for a job that I am doing this week but I had to change SPF rapid for Tilemaster standard set.....I can see a short term shortage of slow set adhesive coming on soon.

Seeing a big demand for slow set SPF this last week or so.......

I try to use slow set where ever I can anyway. But recently went back to CTD to use Weber and they told me no one uees it so she only gets half a dozen at a time.
I asked her to increase the order as ill be using it, think that order may increase further with this weather. I did a conservatory floor couple of weeks ago now and was only getting about an hour in the pot, with slow set.

Do weber do a slow set SPF?

Don't think they do Bri, they need to produce one, I use a lot of set + now, very good adhesive.

Used rapid SPF on a job last week & it went off in about 10mins..

Ive been using weber rapid flexi and find its still got a good pot life, even in this weather

 

[Ian]

Set plus is cracking addy, the SPF rapid does have a decent pot life but, this heat is a killer!

I think webers spf slow set can go off a bit quick at times :incazzato:but it might just be me !

I hope we are not complaining about the hot weather!
Having to work a bit faster is a small price to pay for such a glorious period of global warming!

 

[Ian]

Love the warm weather, hate working in it. I swear I was sweating out of my eyeballs today!

 

[Protilers]

I always work in rapid..........but it started the other day at RayTT's place, its a showroom...people walk on stuff!.......NIGHTMARE......I was getting one tile on and the bucket was stiff!

it continued today..........rapid is now off the menu......long live SPF SLOW SET!

I heard that adding citric acid to spf rapid it slows setting a bit but i never tried it. And im not sure what impact it have on bonding etc.
