    Default Rapid setting slc ?

    Hi all, does anyone know of a rapid setting slc that i can tile onto within 4 or 5 hours ? (or sooner if poss)
    going on a solid floor so flex is not essential. Most specs say foot traffic after 2-4 hours, but i need if poss to beable to lay the tiles the same day,

    Failing that would you go down the route of useing a wet mix of spf as a substitute for the slc ?

    You can also use tilemaster levelflex, it's a mix with water slc and fibre re-inforced, you can screed over most things with it, and tile after 3-4 hours of application
