I like bal tubbed gear and powder gear. Been using palace rapid set, multiflex a few times with no problems on floors. Using Granfix multi-fix today. Seems a little wet but goes off pretty quick. As for grout pick and choose between companys. Not so keen on bals micro flex. Seems to take a bit of cleaning down after the washboys been over it and dried to a haze.

I use WEBER , been on their training courses and got lots of info on their products, plus their tile manual is excellent.

The manual is very good. And the products are good too. Not stocked close to me though, so don't use them unfortunately.

I have got some good contacts down at Weber in Flitwick - they know what they are talking about :)

I am starting a countertop on tuesday porcalain 600 x 600 and have gone for Mapei Keraquick grey - cement based, flexible, rapid setting. Not used it before so will give the low down when i'm done.

Supposed to be superb though, Leatherface is right there range of grout colours is massive, have managed to almost completely match the dark brown tile they want.

Leatherface, i asked about there D2 mate but they told me it was £19.99 = vat.... i almost ran out!!!!

It's a shame because it sounds brilliant, might try and get a bulk in from up your way as it's so cheap. Any ideas on the best place to go mate ??

The only adhesives I have used have been Bal blue star and a small tub of evo-stick https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/.

When you say Dunlop is crap Gaz, what did you think was bad about it.

Did the tile slip a lot or something, or just take ages to go off ?

I used PCI grout for the first time the other day - new tile shop swore it was the dogs for flexi floors etc. And the customer had specified he wanted it. Not happy about not using me own gear....

Guess what - I have had my first call back. Grout is cracking.

Used Granfix on 3 tile repairs upstairs in the same house on boards. Low and behold, no cracks.

PCI - Absolute utter crap. Very dissapointed.
What PCI grout did you use?
