How long should I be expecting this stuff to take to set... Just had a tile pull clean off a primed plywood panel after 18 hours (1mm adhesive)
Yeah, tiles are too big for tubbed adhesive really, maximum is usually 300mm x 300mm. Tubbed adhesives dry by dispersion so I would leave it a week or so to allow the adhesive plenty of drying time before grouting, drilling into etc.
I did wonder about air drying being a problem, but I'm a rubbish tiler so didn't want to use powder! I'll just leave it ages as you suggest... Got a dehumidifier running so hopefully that will help
A standard setting powdered adhesive will give you around 4-5 hours working time and you could always mix up half a bag at a time if it’s slow going/loads of cuts.
Wow, that's a lot longer than I expected! I was thinking more like half an hour working time, I'll definitely go with powdered in future.
