Tried the white Kerakoll H40 no limits adhesive today on floors, part mosaic wet area and part 600x300 dry area. Very easy to mix up, very creamy, and mixed till formed peaks which held shape. Installed mosaics first, 4mm serration paper backed mosaic, once mosaic pressed into adhesive with rubber trowel they stayed where I placed sheets and adhesive not coming thru joints, but still easy to straighten up joints with my little olive leaf trowel. Next 600x300 porcelain with 10mm serration, trowelled all the same way and back of tiles buttered. Very easy to serrate and spread, can definitely tell you get more square meterage per bag. Took up couple of tiles, completely covered and wet. Also tiles don't move about, and adhesive lasted all day. Very impressed really!

I prefer the gray,
White here is a little too fast

White lasted all Day Antonio but it is never over 20 degrees centigrade here!

Contrary to what I've been told by someone who's used it extensively recently.

They inform you on their own video. Don't see why you would need to anyway.

Just telling you what I heard mate.

Sorry don't understand your edit Ian?

Don't see why you would need to add extra water, lasted all day and didn't even have to mix up again.

Oh right, I'm referring to the shrinkage.
I've heard that it shrinks on build up.

I find a quick stir every so often is all that it needs. I've never had a problem with the white going off too quickly, maybe you just work slowly Antonio😉

Will have to keep an eye on that

Shrinkage isn't something I've ever had a problem with. I've used some left over to fill holes left from aircon removal and it hasn't shrunk back so I can't see it happening in "normal" use.

Have you used it Marc?

I don't work to those tolerances so I doubt that I'd notice..

Only on demo days Ian.
Very similar to Isomat AK22

I still insist, maybe you did not understand
what I wrote. ( I do not understand 🙂 ).
Paul, should know now after so many years
that the Spanish are famous for being the greatest workers
in europe. 😉
paul, it saves because it is a Spanish half.
Otherwise he was also in the lazy club.
Am I saying the paul truth?
or are just the ones I know I?
Sorry paul, ahahh

And what about what Marc is saying about shrinkage Antonio? Have you experienced this?

If I am not mistaken, on the bag it is written:
8 liters of water for thin porcelain
And 7 for normal tiles.
to ensure complete coverage.
The retreat I would not know what to say,
I laid the 3mm thick with mesh,
And I did not see anything.
1/2 mm withdrawal seem many,
1/2 mm but how thick of adhesive?

Tried a few little tests last week to see if there is any problem with shrinkage regarding Kerakoll H40 no limits white, even with build up of 20mm under 600x300x12mm porcelain (test only) with a 2mm joint down the 600mm length left and checked all week. Joint stayed exactly 2mm no more no less. Height kept exact. Mixed adhesive to exact spec and never added more water again. Sub base was 1 onto concrete, 1 onto cement backer board and 1 onto Wedi board.
Got to say really is a good all round adhesive, lovely to work with and will be my preferred adhesive now!
