Mapei Which Mapei (None rapid) for porcelain ? - Tile Advice

[LJD]

Did the floor today with Rapid mapei . Found it was going off too quickly .Tiles cut and laid Dry etc first to make sure all good. Just found the mapei Rapid had gone off in the bucket within 15 mins . When it comes to doing the walls I would like a longer "pot life" so i can at least do 10 tiles etc before it all goes to dry


cheers

Thats a rapid ? ! And I was using the grey today. Mixed correctly . Porc onto Ditra . Just found it felt too dry too quickly . I can leave it for 10 hours to dry . so no rush .

Have a look at Adesilex P9. (Standard set)

Going back to keraquick I have found it usually good for 30 to 40 minutes working time.

I've got my 3 bags of super flexible adhesive (C2TE S1) from B&q (Wickes sell it also under another name) it's the same as Keraflex maxi S1, I've done some reading and lots of people recommend this brand as it has gives you more time to work with it. Stuff is expensive tho.....

 

[LJD]

cheaper than watching rapid go off and wasting it !

 

[mr white]

Agreed haha

What size are your tiles?

Keraflex maxi S1 is fine for most jobs.
