ready mixed tiling adhesive

Post by stofts »

Hi

I am tiling a shower room, including the shower area, and I have opened some tile adhesive (Biscem Power showerpoof 10 litres).

For how long can you use it after you have opened it?

There is nothing about this written on the tub.

Thanks for the reply. What I really meant to say was:

If I opened it on Tuesday, used a bit then sealed it up again. I then used a bit more on Wednesday and then sealed it up again, day after day.

How long can I keep using it after I have opened it?

it really depends on how its been stored but i would say no more than 3 months providing they have not been out in a cold area IE shed or garge floor!

each time you finish using it, cover the remainder with cling film before replacing the lid. This will help prvent it drying out and becoming un-usable. :wink:
