Toppfix rapid set

[dhsanta65]

Doing a small 3m2 bathroom floor today and used Toppfix rapid set flexible for the 1st time to see what it was like. Mixed and troweled OK, tiles down for 1.30pm went for lunch came back to grout the floor about 3.30pm but there was still quite a bit of movement in the tiles.
Toppfix is supposed to set in a couple of hrs had to leave it, going back in the morning to grout what a pain.
Anyone use Toppfix if so every had any probs with it ???
I usual use Bal rapid set never had any probs.

It does say 3 hrs on the front of the bag! Picky I know but that depends on the temprature as well!

i have had to wait a little longer on occasions for it to go off but as Grumps says depends on temperature aswell.

All depends also what your fixing to, wether theres any suction or not on the surface

Had a porch to do today..........used the same stuff as well.

Toppfix is ok stuff, but not on smaller area's that you need to grout the same day.

Got another porch to do tomorrow..........so I have got Bal rapidset instead

pm'd you mate,but as i said never had any probs with it especially as long as you have waited for it to set,always about the 3 hour mark!

 

[chris.tiling]

only once had the same issue. Use it a lot as I cant find anything else as good for the same price

I use it a lot and it is generally about the 3hr mark. Decent stuff for the price.
