Is it a 24 hour jobby? Never used it myself. I'd be using backboard or fastflex.

Depends on the job, Pete!

If suitable for the tiles/substrate I use white Star, otherwise, SPF or such like.

stop useing ready mix on walls long time ago when they came out with non-slip it skinned to quickley and i mitre the tiles so it would shrink and chip the mitres, also never had flat enougth walls max 4mm bucket, cement based would dry quicker when you plummed window ect and wouldent shrink and be able to grout sooner on non porous surfaces
