Mastic adhesive

[ophlyne]

Hi all, I was just wondering if you guys have mastic adhesives over in the uk.?? I searched the forums but no one has said anything about it. If you don't, you don't know what your missing out on!

I've never heard of them you tease! Got a link?

Just thinking about mastic a bit. lol and the only term I've heard it used for is as in Silicon mastic or caulking mastic. Never heard of a make called Mastic though, nor can I find a link easily.

lol, really?? I didnt think so. It's non-slip so we just notch up a full shower wall, start from the top, and away we go. Here's a link to the brand that we use at work. http://www.constructionchemicals.com.au/PDF/Tilemastic.pdf It costs about 55 aussie dollars a bucket, so thats about 25 of your pounds

And do you fancy being the first aussie to say hi in the new aussie tiling forum?

About the links, thats weird because they work when i click em.
http://www.ardexbp.com.au/pdf_prd/00100001.pdf try that one, it's another leading brands mastic.

I just had a look at the poll. The third post on that thread, leatherface is talking about a "tub adhesive", that sounds like mastic. So maybe you do have it.

Yeh i'll suss out the aussie forum too 😀
