Mapei exclusive adhesive in Tile Giant

[Ken Bruty]

Today I used a Mapei product sold exclusively through Tile Giant, it was a spf grey called proflexible. It was a superb adhesive imo, easy to mix smooth and loads of pot life, so I could mix up a lot without turning round and finding the product solid in the bucket, you got plenty of warning when it was going off. I would highly recommend it:smilewinkgrin:. Great value for money.

Its good stuff Ken...used to be called mapeker I think. Used it loads now

i've started using it also, it's a few quid cheaper and virtually the same as keraquick

So is this just re branded Keraquick?

I've been using it the last week. Great to work with.

Has anyone noticed how slowly this goes off compared to other rapidsets? Says on bag use within 15-20 minutes but it seems to be workable for well over an hour.

I think one you have used Mapei anything else is substandard.

Sorry Prem Tiler, not sure what you mean?

It still sets in the time it says on the bag.. just the pot life will be longer sometimes more than it states.. you have to remember that setting times or pot life is dependent on 20 dg C..

I have been using this tonight and yes it does have a long pot life. Its not quite as modified as Keraquick and not sure i want to use it as is on ply floor though. Still going for the keraquick on this one. Tis a good price though

Yes i did read it but its not as nice as the kera imo. I have 2 bags of each and will use the keraquick on the floor but with the latex plus

fussy git..:lol:

Of course, its my best friends floor!

 

[Aspect Tiling]

Used it a few times now. Decent stuff, I was told the only difference between this and keraquick is that it's not suitable for UFH and it can't be mixed with Latex Plus.

 

[Scott]

Glad you put that as i was going to call tech to see if you could add it.

Used the proquick recently, very good price but was not impressed at all with it compaired to the old stuff (kerraquick) i think! It was harder to achieve a good bond with the tile imo, seemed to have a sandyer feel to it and less tacky! Only use it now to flatten out dodgy walls!

ProQuick is the equivalent to the standard Mapei Rapid Set. ProFlexible is the equivalent to Mapeker Flex
