Ive never used an accelerator when rendering but have to float another chimney tomorrow and going to try it. Will be getting the mix on early as possible but want to know how these accelerators effect the setting time or is there not much difference with working with such small sets? All info on it would be great

I have never used one either :-(

Used it for concrete a fair few times. Was set enough for foot traffic within a couple of hours if I remember correctly. Never used it in render though. I know you have to be careful not to use to much.

I've used liquid rapid hardener before, seemed ok, floated walls where dpc had been injected. Hung a bit as usual over slurried brickwork, but then pulled on lovely. Skimmed as normal. It was a smallish area, usually a nightmare of hanging about trying to get a float on it. Careful with the amount you add mind.
