    Default Mapei rapid-set

    I've got to lay ceramic tiles onto concrete and was thinking of using mapei rapid-set but I havent tried it before. I have used Keraquick which I found very good but is the rapid-set as good ? As it's a situation where I dont need the flexi I thought maybe I could save a few bob.

    I love the Keraquick and I am just as impressed with the rapid. In fact doubt youl be able to notice any difference between the two by what it is like to work with.

    I can't see Mapeker on their website, where can I get info on it?
    I would like something cheaper than Keraquick + latex plus which actually works out more expensive than Bal Rapidset Flex, for tiling onto suspended floor.
