How long are you guys finding the "actual" pot life of Keraquick?

I used it for the first time this week and found that it was good for at least an hour in the bucket (the black book says 30 mins!) but that it did seem to go off within the 2-3 hrs as stated.

I have to agree with GD it also seemed to loosen having mixed it to the right initial consistency.

It was very nice to work with and if it does last that little bit longer in the bucket then all the better :yes:

Brilliant Stuff !

I'm using Mapai white powdered adhesives all the time now !
P9 is fantastic for tiling on tiles, Bal are just pricing themselves out the game lately for there single part white flex & Rapid set Flexi !
The only Bal adhesive i use is the 2 part flexible, Never tried the new version yet ?

I don't want help - I love it!!!

I pay £14 at Tile Giant, Preston - grey or white - same price.

how do you get it for £14 a bag i've just went onto tile giants website and they advertise it for £32 for grey and £34 for white which means you are getting about 60% discount ?
