    Default Mapei keraquick, good or what.

    Here are some pics (not very good) showing a tile I had cut around a socket. The customer changed his mind, so I had to remove it. This tile had only been on for twelve hours. As you can see, it ripped the whole peice of plasterboard off. Proof of the strength of primer G and Keraquick

    I am surprised it had gone off after 12 hrs, it has been warm lately seriously not the fastest rapidset on the market but a very good adhesive

    Brilliant stuff!

    We should do a 'how strong is your adhesive brand' poll.

    Really do not understand the Bal bashing here, price is an issue, but they do make some fantastic products, have been using the new PTB flex on a large floor, reasonably priced.
    A joy to use.
