mainly Ultra again for me this last year

 

[Spud]

no one using kera koll then, i used the marmorex white rapid the other day seemed pretty good ,pretty shocking that the ardex score is so low it was all i used to use back in the early 90's it is good gear too

Mainly BAL (tubbed) but Toppfix on the cement...Tile Giant still a bit to far away to use daily.. (and there's a tunnel in the way)

Topps Topfix Rapidset / Flexi
and
Bal Blue Star/ Mosaic Fix

Those are my main stickers!

Mostly BAL for me, but I do use Toppfix for floors (including my own). However, I'm really going off BAL GRIP because during the few days of Summer it went off really quickly in the tub. I'm now moving over to Single Pt. flex for walls. Cheers Sean

Palace for me, well that cheapo muck Topps sells as their own.

Tight assed customers being the main reason, though, Bal probably isn't that far behind thinking about it.

found a local distributor that does mapei reciently at £12 a 20 kg bag so its mapei for me too!

I refuse to submit to the cheap Topps pricing and have stuck to Ardex, with Mapei a close second.

some very interesting reading comparisons to be made between the gear used in the U.K. & Oz.
Ardex/BAL/Dunlop there are Ardex/ABA/dunlop here - & sounds like they're having same problems.
we also have Mapei - PCI & Laticrete as international brands (kera koll came & went)with local presence but only Mapei seriously manufacture. We also have a doz. other local Co.s of varying sizes & market share. it is curious that we can all be doing the same trade & yet doing it so differently.
might make an interesting long term topic itself ??

i see a lot of people hear tell that mapei is great and not expensive. this is good.

bal far to expesnive and not worth all the money extra. it like they think of number and times by 100.

i have pci and sometime weber here onsite. boss buy in on wooden square, a lot of bags. very good and boss tell me it cheap. i like pci much. nice consitency and easy to work
