Topps rapid set

[Fred]

Is it me, or does this stuff go off quickly! I thought I had a short time with Webber SPF!

 

[david campbell]

yeah,it only has a bucket lif of about 30mins,unlike the 45 suggested on the bag,i've even seen it be solid under foot after 2 hours,good stuff for the price though

 

[doug boardley]

is it rebranded stuff? or have I got it mixed up with another rapid set?

 

[Perry]

a lot of manufactures have had problems with flash setting looks like they ain't sorted it yet then lol

 

[nickj]

I stopped using it as I found it went off to quick.

 

[CJ]

I find it slow..............stopped using it on smaller jobs as it was holding me up.

Maybe that was only the flexi stuff ?

 

[FreeD]

Hmm I find it slow also...get at least 30 mins bucket life...never touch Weber anymore...way to fast 20 mins and your outside with a hammer knocking it out of the bucket...hate working with it. Use Topps for all my adhesives now very competitive and good stuff...still use mapei grouts (ultracolour) and silicone.

I've been told that depending on the season they change additives! so its should slow the setting time in summer and speed it up in winter. If this is the case and you get the winter stuff in the summer it'll set really quickly. Probably a load of """"""!

 

[DHTiling]

NO..its right....but if it doesn't sell in the season then you get extra fast set in the summer...:lol: and extra slow set in the winter...

 

[trevortine]

I never use the cheapo addys, bal all day long for me. I know its dearer but you get what you pay for in my opinion.

 

[brian c]

have you tried MAPEI trevortine?great stuff.

I find the topps stuff is ok but i was doing a step with the flexi stuff the other day and it was going off too quick...it was SUNNY..YES really it was and hot

 

[Perry]

they do put different amounts of hardener in depending the seasons

Were you tiling on your hols... what doe's the sun look like...what is heat:smilewinkgrin::smilewinkgrin::smilewinkgrin:

I use topps gear and yep i't doe's seem to vary in how long it take's to go off. But it works, find the white nicer to work with clean up seems to be a lot easier than with grey.
