flexy time

[beattsmjk]

hI all

I have a relatively small kitchen floor to tile tomorrow. I am using fastflex. The kitchen is just short of 5m2 and so I bought two bags of fastflex. (its a wooden floor that I latex screeded after securing).

anyway from what i gather Bal tend to exagerate their qty requirements etc. The bags state 2.6Kg / m2 so hopefully I will have enough with the two bags.


Should I pour half the powder and liquid into a bucket at a time and work it that way. The kitchen is pretty warm with this current weather.

How long will it be workable in the bucket??

please help🙂

p.s I am using a 20mm half round notched trowel, the tiles are 6mm thick ceramics 330mm x 330mm

as you say with the weather being quiet warm you can probaly about half the pot life of the adhesive.....so get your finger out.....lol lol lol ............dave...

10 mins to tile 1m2 is this possible??

bal fastflex does have low pot life anyway with it being mixed with neat latex....so mix small amounts when the weather is hot maybe not half the pot life but it will defo decrease its pot life....

Would also be advisable to make any tricky cuts before you mix up any sticky...so it isnt standing goin off while you cut...
