Need to try it if you think Weber spf is good, I used Weber for years till I went down to Ray's & got a play about with TileMaster gear, now it's my adhesive of choice.
Setaflex is really good but if you use it in the wrong application then it will be like any other adhesive, remember this Deano??

P9 pants. Like some one said, it is v sandy, it doesn't mix well, it stiffens up as if by magic. And it doesn't stick well.

The grout is equally as bad, just drops off the trowel, it dries in the joint in about 5 seconds, you literally can't point upto the ceiling with it

You get used to it after a while , I remember when I first used ultracolour over 20 years ago , I had only ever used Bal white grout and bal wide joint grey floor grout before our local tile shop went over to mapei all the tilers hated it , so much so they would all do a 30 mile round trip to buy bal from Luton ceramics , the mapei used to knock up really sloppy dry on the surface of the tile and remain pissy in the tile joint then in a blink of an eye set rock hard before you had first washed it , over time we all got used to using it , I still try and avoid using it but will do as I have learnt to work with it

P9 is a good adhesive, one of the better ones, bit like Weber spf or BAL spf.
TileMaster setaflex standard addy is without doubt better than the rest..

When it comes to adhesive its TM standard setaflex for me......cracking gear & if you need an S2 then ultimate flex good too and 1 part mix........prices good too.......igetstandard setaflex grey @ £12.70 including vat and setaflex White @ £15.40 including vat......ultimate grey @ £19 inclusive of vat...... fairly priced I,d say.....

Yeah it does take abit of getting used to the ultracolour, I never used to like it but mixed mechanically to correct ratio and applied and washed off correctly ( careful with the washing off now !)......this stuff is now my grout of choice especially with the matching sealants.....firms up nicely and easy to wash off......

Mapei make really good adhesives if you don't like p9 try kera flex maxi it is lovely stuff to use

I don't usually use Mapei adhesive but I used a lot of the keraflex maxi for a client who supplied it all on a job for 4 bathrooms all diver large format tiles from porcelain to stone and I found this stuff good to use......nice, quality addy

 

[kevsalt]

[MW Smith Ceramics]

Mapei keraflex maxi or tilemaster standard setaflex.......I never use rapid setting adhesive if I can help it.......
