I was chatting to the swimming pool contractor at one of our jobs last week and one of his tilers said that rapidset and spf rapid were not recommended for pools, i was surprised by this as many rapids can be used externally and can even go off under water ,Is he correct? or does it just depend on the brand ?

depends on brands

having done a few pools wouldent think rapid would have the body on swimming pools

Which one would be the best for swimming pools then? Actually,thinking birdbaths... and garden furniture, too, just to make it really rock solid, non-toxic and not too expensive?

who me Mosa this the best one i have evr used

All Mapei adhesives except rapid set are ok for pool use..

:P9:kerabondT:P10:keraflex:keraflexmaxi:mapeker:P4 :keraquick:granirapid:elastorapid:S2mono:S2quick..

So basicly it does depend on the brand..

soz Dave don't know much about Mapei haven't used them much always found them a little difficult years ago

Best i have used to date pete and i have tried a few..

So pete.. what did you use before nanolight..?
