How do I prolong the open time of my tile adhesive?

When tiling to sand and cement screeds and concrete, the substrate can be dampened with water using a mist sprayer. This will reduce suction from the substrate, and help maintain the open time of all ARDEX Cement-Based Tile Adhesives.

Alternatively, the range of ARDEX MICROTEC Tile Adhesives provide extended-open-times from the outset and on all substrates; ARDEX MICROTEC X 77 for example has an open time of up to 60 minutes!
