Sbr primer

[Sean SML Tiling]

Once sbr has been mixed with water does it then have a time scale before it goes off. Reason im asking is I normally premix my sbr into 5l bottles 3:1 and when I opened a bottle yesterday it smelt like rotten egg so didnt use it. Anyone had any problems like this?

No, never, used for a serious number of years and thats the first time I've heard that.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

The smell was shocking neale. Turnedy my stomach

 

[White Room]

My names Mark but thats by and by, how long was the sbr kept in the container mixed with water...

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Im sure ive been calling you neale for a while lol. Sorry mark. Probably about a couple of weeks it was a old bottle.

When I dilute SBR I also keep any left in another container........never had the smell though.

 

[White Room]

As CJ, not after a couple of weeks, I have some which I kept in a container for longer and no smell.

What did container have in it before you used for sbr.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Latex plus additive. But was thoroughly cleaned out.

 

[White Room]

May have been a residue from your old container, even though you cleaned it out that caused the smell.

I have only used original containers that had sbr.

I always end up swapping as they always break while pushing down to unscrew the lid
