    Default Floorfast 20 Rapid

    Hello all
    I have had to use about 50 bags of PCI Floorfast 20 rapid on 2 jobs for a fast food chain because of the spec(i normaly use Mapei) and ive had nothing but trouble on the 2 sites, the tilers on site are telling me it is taking at least 7 hours to dry .. Has anyone else had the same problem?
    PS the use by date is fine ....Thanks

    I used to use nothing but FF20 on Sainsburys work and it was spot on.....

    Sounds like it may be a bit hitty missy

    I have used up 200 tons a year of it the only problem you may have is it may be a summer mix and as its colder it may be taking longer to dry where did you buy it from and it will take 3 hours to dry how did you find it to use ? :Pete

    I used to use a lot of the stuff when i was a fixer and never had a problem with it, the only thing was it is a pourable adhesive and a pain if you had to build up.
    It will be 8 years ago since i last used it but 7 hrs drying time is not very good when every one wants to be on the floor.
