Thanks for your reply - it's been around 15 hours now and it's still soft and sticky - I'm getting a little nervous that it is not going to set hard.
Rain forcast later too 
I was expectng it to be hard after an hour or so, so I guess hearing that yours is taking 8 - 10 hours give me some hope.
Thanks, Mark

We jointed the market square in Hitchin with VDW a couple of weeks back and the setting time was noticeably slower than what we experienced on similar work in the late Spring. I wouldn't worry: it can't not go off, if you'll excuse the double negative.

Wot was a dodgy scot doing in Hitchin, Herts...? ... surely not at one of the best grammar schools in the country? - yeah he was - "for about 5 mins - he was delivering the groceries" - (The Goons 1957)
