or not the right mix lolFor an adhesive to “flash set” requires an increase in the exothermic reaction of the adhesive. This is normally caused by either singularly or a combination of:-
·The on-site temperatures being elevated (i.e. above 20 0C)
·The adhesive being mixed incorrectly (liquid added to the powder).
·The adhesive being mixed with a drill mixer at high speeds (above 300 RPM) thus introducing additional heat into the mixture.
·The amount of adhesive actually mixed
As a general note when using any rapid setting adhesives particularly when subjected to elevated site temperatures, the following general precautions are recommended.
1.Ensure that the adhesive is stored in cooler conditions before tiling commences.
2.If a drill mixer is employed always mix on a ”slow speed” i.e. below 300rpm.
3.Mix smaller quantities.
These steps can all help to increase the working time of the rapid setting adhesives where temperatures on site are above 20°C.
When conditions become unbearable and Rapid set is unsuitable, then revert to a Single part or slow setting adhesive.....Gaz
