[Dougs Third Go]

hell, it was hard work!, only a 6m floor on bathroom I've been working on, but it took 3 mixes with the heat setting it so quick. I would've used standard set but I need the rapid so I could shift gear back in there overnight....now topping up my liquid with a coupla' ciders

Yep , weber spf rapid , cut all tiles first 2.5 mtrs floor , mixed addy and just got 10 mins out of it but enough time to stick tiles down.

If I'd tiled normal way , I'd have needed a few mixes.


Bloody hard work grouting walls and floor though .

I didn't dare today mate, did a 5m conservatory floor on Monday, took 4 mixes. Was getting about 15 mins pot life!

I was at my lock up, not mixing anything until tomorrow.

20 metres of limestone flags yesterday and today. Using Setaflex, and getting 10-15 minutes pot life in the afternoons. Man that made me sweat. But what I couldn't understand is why my leveller only became dry enough to tile over 48 hours after spreading (10-15mm depths)?

Nope, but I did a load of grouting, and although the grouting process was an absolute joy (hardly any waiting for it to chalk-up) I did shed about 2stone in sweat. I had to empty my gloves out!!

Perhaps room in the market for a thermal bucket. Mind you it's the floor temp I guess that contributes the most.

Portable air con unit in the room the day before maybe.
