Ultra semi rapid adhesive

[Flintstone]

Anyone used it yet ? Think it's been out a couple of months

 

[Sean Kelly]

Not tried it. However, I hear BAL are bringing out a semi rapid soon.

 

[hmtiling]

Yep, used the white and the grey. I like them, trowel nicely and seem to be better yield than spes. They are not good on walls though. You need gravity on your side with them.

 

[Flintstone]

Not comparable to spes in texture then ?

No Andy, very different addy. It's also a lot more expensive than spes for me so only be using it for stone

gel technology is a registered trademark of kerakoll for biogel, I don't think it can be used.
could find another word to make it understood.

No they invented semi rapid and gel technology I can't believe being an industry professional that you didn't realise bal invent loads of stuff . It's just they invent it after somebody else has already done it but that's just details .

I’m getting the feeling someone’s not a fan

I wouldn't mind but its just they blow their trumpet really loud when everybody has already heard the tune .

Personally, I don't see the point in semi rapid.

Most of you guys won't grout 'til the day after anyway so I don't understand why you need it.

Big stone floors for me Tom. Minimises risk of salts coming through without having to clean buckets and tools every mix or 2

 

[Flintstone]

Stone tiles, summer use, some times standard set is barely set next day in winter, good for that, etc etc .

 

[J Sid]

rapid and a hammer for cleaning bucket and tools
or just mix some rapid and slow set together to your own requirements

We used to put neat cement in rapid adhesive years ago to make it set quicker in winter.

You really do Tom. I'm from the North West. The water down here is unbelievably hard.
