    Why not mix one and then the other? What's the point in mixing them together? You get the same amount of mixed adhesive either way.

    depends if you mix the keraquick to the keraflex maxi or vica versa best thing is save it for one of NM's jobs when your supplying addy for nowt and find out then .

    Oh ok, I'm not sure but I can find out. Not sure my brain's working but the only problems I can think of straight away is if the accelerators and retarders would react with one another. Also do these two products go to a different thickness? If so the cement might be different.
