white setaflex about £19,, but if you get a pallet from TileTown about £12.

I use tilemaster setaflex white and all of us are really happy with it
I switched over after being recommended to it by Gary.
Setaflex particularly suits me as it gives time to lay larger repeat modules or long courses of stone and can still adjust after one and half hours minimum.
this is the only rapid I can find at a good price.
i ve been with most of the other suppliers and there has always been a problem after a while when the wether gets a bit warmer .
as for price it is really good value but probably based on the quantity I buy.
have you tried this yet dave.its good stuff for stone on walls and floors

 

[DHTiling]

Not tried it yet no , just chatting about it today at PHG and wondered roughly what fixers pay for it...

Last time i checked it was £14 for White spf and £12 for Grey spf, that was probably 12 months ago as the nearest tile shops dont keep it despite the factory being a couple of miles from home.

I buy it by the pallet it is a really good product ,I find it a little hard on my hands so I now use gloves with it ,one good thing about Tile master Dave is they will adjust the set time of it for you ,as Jonny says he likes it to still be adjustable after an hour ,they do my rapid so it picks up in 40 minutes no other manufacturer will give you that level of service ,I have used their products for about 18 months and am very pleased ,their grout 3000 is the best grout for porcelain on the market bar none

For the standard white setaflex £11.94
Rapid Setaflex Grey £14.34
Levelflex 50m Fibre re-inforced £15

I've used rapid setaflex a few times, and i'm still not 100% convinced about it!?!

What don't you like about it. ?

 

[beanz]

I always feel it's too easy to clean off, after drying!?! Like it stays kinda soft... Not had any failures, but it makes me nervous. Decided not to use it anymore.

 

[DHTiling]

Clean off what..?.. mate..

 

[beanz]

Anything. The floor, tiles etc. Not that i'm particularly messy, but sometimes you miss a bit.

How long after messing the floor have you found this.. ?

 

[beanz]

A few hours. I have a proper clean up before grouting, and that's when i've come across the odd bit. Not large areas or anything, but seems to come off much easier than i'd expect.

Ok, doesn't mean it is bad though.. but Stonefix adhesive was like that ..

If i dropped , say Weber spf rapid white and left it for a few hrs , then it would require a scraper to get it up.. but this depends on the adhesives set time and some are 3 hrs to grout but can be longer to fully harden and this will male cleaning off tiled floors easy .

ah, fair enough. I tend to use Webber mostly, so it's probably just because i'm coming from that.
