Fasted drying rapid set

[streaky]

I've seen rapid mixed with hot water before for a shop entrance. He barely had time to get it out if the bucket! Dunno if it'd effect integrity tho.

I had an apprentice bring me out a bucket of rapid set that was steaming once. We were tiling a balcony so he thought hot adhesive would help. Was quite funny as I wasn't paying for the sticky, must have put all of three tiles down before it went solid lol.

Ardex X7R is the quickest I've used

Salt will slow the drying and sugar will speed it up or it may be the other way round LOL.

As already said above X7R is the fastest I've ever used

As above also, X7R, I took a bag back to CTD as I thought there was something wrong with it but then found out its a quick rapid.
It went off in the bucket in about 10mins max.

X7R needs a bit more water than your average RSF

A rep once told me that hot water in rapid set has no effect on bond strength, which is handy.
