I normally would use a rapid set when tiling a floor but with how hot it's been lately I opted to use keraflex maxi which has 8 hour pot life and says is set to light foot traffic after 24 hours.. ... I found after I had spread the floor and bedded the tiles I couldn't move them after about 10...
hell, it was hard work!, only a 6m floor on bathroom I've been working on, but it took 3 mixes with the heat setting it so quick. I would've used standard set but I need the rapid so I could shift gear back in there overnight....now topping up my liquid with a coupla' ciders ;)
Can there a more dusty,unhealthy adhesive to mix?

A guy I know, who's a tiler, posted this on Facebook this morning, I sent a couple of comments back, what do you think?

He can tile as well but as the thread says too stuck in his ways.
