Pot Life/Open Time

[paulpa]

Is this the time it can be left mixed in the bucket (pot life) and time spread before placing a tile ( open time)?

[Stewart]

Yes, this is the average time, once mixed, that it remains usable, but is dependent on room temperature .....

yip to be used as a guide only, other variables can alter these times ie: Temp, Humidity, Background etc.

Ok thanks, though it was just needed to check, give me an idea of how much to mix at a time. May need Roller skates on my knees.

[Gall.B]

Now there's an idea.

as a guide yes, but you have to take seasonal adjustment into consideration. A lot of manufacturers try this ie, a batch made in winter will have more rapid setting additives to combat low temperatures/humidity levels for that season.
