Slower setting floor Adhesive

I dunno what gear you use Pete, but if your doing those big jobs I'd look into the Raimondi Ipurbet (mixer) and the Raimondi Pedalo (washboy). These bits of kit will help you no end. I use my ipurbet from floors from 20m2 upwards, it would be invaluable on that that big job. I was lucky and only paid £400 + Vat, but shop around. And with the pedalo i can easily grout 50m2 on my own in a couple of hours! Stood up as well.

I've been thinking about buying a Pedalo. One of the other guys I sometimes work with has got one and said I could borrow it. Will probably give it a go in the next week or so and get myself one if I like it

Ace piece of kit, if you buy one (got mine off ebay) be prepared for the rubbish two part pole to break, so get a new broom handle for it! I've got two of the sweepex heads, so if i'm grouting a big area one of us can just sweep over the drying grout and emulsify it, and the second geezer can come along after and wash off the residual. Very quick system.

Is the set bonding strength of standard set as strong as rapid set? Or is that a ridiculous question???

Cheers

Not a daft question at all!
They are as strong as each other, but obviously rapid setting adhesives reach their highest bond strength quicker.

Thank you mate............ In that case i think i might use it on that Travertine floor you have helped me with.

Be able to take my time with it then.

Cheers again Bugs

Cheers matey, its especially good with stone as you can clean it of more easily, and you have to make sure the stone is clean before you seal up.
