    Default Lack of demand for slow set.

    Was in my local Tile Giant pricing materials(good service as always Canterbury branch ) and noticed there was no slow set on display next to the rapid I was pricing.Asked them if they had a run on it & he said theres no demand for it,and will order in if asked.

    Any other TG not stocking it ?.

    I always use keraflex (as apposed to keraguick) on walls. Its much easier to work with as it gives you more time especially with large format tiles and no wastage and no lippage

    I use a lot of slow set S1 for walls... i do a lot of bespoke technical work , so slower set allows me to work at a certain pace without worrying about losing a bucket of sticky
