Weber slc useby date

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Hi
I have a few bags of weber fibre reinforced slc that i keep meaning to use, dated 13.9.17. Been in my dry store, not sure its worth using but need a few bags on bank holiday, would save a trip to topps, anyone any idea how long this gear stays useable.

Cheers

Is that the manufacturing date or the best before ?🙂

 

[Italy]

is the manufacturing date

 

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

I would say manufacture, only one date on the bag. Cant think its sat that long to useby date.

Use it no probs🙂

That would save the £4 land fill charge😉

Personally wouldn't risk it, might save you a trip to Topps but imagine going back Tues and its still like playdo

 

[Spare Tool]

Ah date of manufacture not use by then..

 

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Is there useby date. Can only see one.

 

[Spare Tool]

Usually 6mths from date of manufacture so its 8 mths out of date, your call 😉

 

[hmtiling]

most slc and adhesive is 12 months shelf life and almost always date of manufacture printed on bag. id use it on a solid floor but not risk it otherwise

I'll see my 6 and raise you to 12 H 😀

It’s not the cement element that goes out of date, it’s the chromium 6 inhibitor that does.
As long as you wear gloves and a mask and there’s not solidified dust in it, it should be fine.

Thanks for the info fellas, think i will sack it off and go to topps, would hate for a good job to west for the sake.
Hope topps is ok as I never use it but I know its open tomorrow.

The rapid one is pretty good. It's ultra re-bagged

I’d hate to pour an slc and find it’s failed. Topps leveller is made by ultra I beleive

Cheers, i will head for that, need to tile tuesday, just a quick one, i never use rapid set addy, but in a bind with work so I need to tile and seal the porcelain that day, i wil be using clips, so will want the clips removed and cleaned before sealing, this is on an already hardie covered floor, will the clips knock off with out affecting the adhesion of tile, if i leave for 4 hrs or so.

You best stop via the bank for a loan if you're using Topps...
