Sbr primer

[Sean SML Tiling]

Once sbr has been mixed with water does it then have a time scale before it goes off. Reason im asking is I normally premix my sbr into 5l bottles 3:1 and when I opened a bottle yesterday it smelt like rotten egg so didnt use it. Anyone had any problems like this?

 

[White Room]

No, never, used for a serious number of years and thats the first time I've heard that.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

The smell was shocking neale. Turnedy my stomach

 

[White Room]

My names Mark but thats by and by, how long was the sbr kept in the container mixed with water...

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Im sure ive been calling you neale for a while lol. Sorry mark. Probably about a couple of weeks it was a old bottle.

 

[CJ]

When I dilute SBR I also keep any left in another container........never had the smell though.

 

[White Room]

As CJ, not after a couple of weeks, I have some which I kept in a container for longer and no smell.

What did container have in it before you used for sbr.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Latex plus additive. But was thoroughly cleaned out.

 

[White Room]

May have been a residue from your old container, even though you cleaned it out that caused the smell.

I have only used original containers that had sbr.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

I always end up swapping as they always break while pushing down to unscrew the lid

Ive had that a few times over the years with Bal bond even when Ive have got a new container and first opened it and have not diluted it with water its not a nice smell ,priming the customers bathroom it travels through the house and you have to explain its not you .

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

So is it still ok to use then?

 

[Qwerty]

I would get rid mate. I've had mapei primerG do this in the past and it was no good. Not had it happen for a while though

 

[Peter]

Are you sure it wasn't milk?

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

[Mr Tiler]

[Sean SML Tiling]

Not when its smell like rotten egg and yoy got to explain to the customer what the smell is.

 

[Mr Tiler]
