    Thats sounds ok. Been using excel bond wall adhesive for 3 years without any probs apart from sometimes the tubs seem to not be as full on some batches. I dont like the excel floor adhesive (rapid set). Prefer to use one by evo stick who do a flexi for concrete at £8 a bag and super flexi at £18. Really easy to work with. Never used bal rapid set, will give it a go when tch get some in!
