Bal Green star Adhesive

[Jeff the tiler]

Hey all,

Just had the pleasure of using Bal green star!!! The drying time seems to take an age. Unfortunately customer had already purchased.
Are you guys finding the same? Hopefully this can lead to a thread of which adhesives you are finding drying quicker at the lower end of the market.

Even at 6mm it should dry overnight. What are you fixing with it?

I use powder 99% of the time to be honest anyway, cheaper.

Thanks for the responses. Like you guys I predominately use powder adhesive ardurit so know the pro's and cons just had no option hence my post, as not used it for such a long time. Perhaps waiting for it to cure overnight may be a bit excessive!!

Excessive? Not really, tubbed adhesive drys by dispersion, so it'd be about 24 hours i'd imagine.

the green star tubs are ok when they are empty mix grout in them , other than that waste of money imo

As above Think 24 hours is about the norm with tubbed gear
