hi and help !

great advice thanks. I agree that this will take pressure off a little for 1st job.

so if not using rapid set I should wait 24 hours before grouting ? is this right ?

thanks to everyone for advice i feel more confident already knowing people out there to help.

It is an old kitchen Tony and the plinths are screwed on.
thanks for the advice Gaz re Silicon 1st then grout.
How easy is it to cut plinths say for example like mine at home. They look like chipboard with the rubbish plastic wood looking finish. will this stuff just fall to bits if you attempt to cut ?

hi micky grout first then Silicon and yes they are chipboard either that or mdf but they will cut nicely either one sharp saw and cut from the front🙂

GAZTIP why not mix dry,50/50 rapid and standard set adhesive to take the pressure off,this will give you time but will still accelerate the drying/working time.....I would only advise the mix from the same manufacturer...after all its the same base product!:wink_smile:

or just mix smaller amounts
