    Default Mapei exclusive adhesive in Tile Giant

    Today I used a Mapei product sold exclusively through Tile Giant, it was a spf grey called proflexible. It was a superb adhesive imo, easy to mix smooth and loads of pot life, so I could mix up a lot without turning round and finding the product solid in the bucket, you got plenty of warning when it was going off. I would highly recommend it. Great value for money.

    Has anyone noticed how slowly this goes off compared to other rapidsets? Says on bag use within 15-20 minutes but it seems to be workable for well over an hour.

    It still sets in the time it says on the bag.. just the pot life will be longer sometimes more than it states.. you have to remember that setting times or pot life is dependent on 20 dg C..

    Used it a few times now. Decent stuff, I was told the only difference between this and keraquick is that it's not suitable for UFH and it can't be mixed with Latex Plus.

    Used the proquick recently, very good price but was not impressed at all with it compaired to the old stuff (kerraquick) i think! It was harder to achieve a good bond with the tile imo, seemed to have a sandyer feel to it and less tacky! Only use it now to flatten out dodgy walls!

    ProQuick is the equivalent to the standard Mapei Rapid Set. ProFlexible is the equivalent to Mapeker Flex
