    i have used this before and liked working with it but it is expensive...try the Mapei range at ctd...get a little black book to help you choose which adhesive is best for the substrate you are tiling to aswell as giving lots of technical info.

    A small test was conducted by a tiling comp with that product...

    A floor was tiled.... 1 section in rapid set and 1 section in supercover.

    The next day the section with rapid set took a lot of effort to prise the tiles back up , breaking most of them and the section tiled with super cover just flipped back up....the super cover takes a lot longer for it to gain structural strength....

    So you take what you want from that..i need adhesives that work in a short time span to gain structural strength....

    So i use Mapei......and Mapei is a damn site cheaper than BAl products..
