    What is the max amount of open time on F46 when rollered, I know it says indefinite open time but what are the longest time yous have left on the floor without anything on to then come back and stick tiles on with decent grab?

    A day mate when I run out of planks. I took glue back into the job but didnt need it. Best glue by far ;)

    also mate on one job i ran out of planks and covered the 1m2 where I was short with plastic sheet cut from builders bag. went back a week later and the glue was still tacky so pulled it up and placed the planks straight in and they stuck great.

    its good for a few days. All depends on environment tho. I think it actually looses its stick when dust ect starts to settle on it. That Mapei glue at the BWFA with that half circle is still sticky 6 months on and covered in all types LOL. Not sticky enough to stick to put still grabs your trainer when you walk on it.

    I did that with plastic once to trouble was every man and his dog trampled all over it and when I went back would that thin plastic come off NO it was welded to the adhesive bugger, had to pull out what I could and re-glue it.
