Re: Weber

is it the low dust adhesive by any chance?Price is ok imo.But i have seen better tbh.

 

[doug boardley]

never had a problem with weber, altho I've only used the white flexi

 

[Scholester]

So how much would you trade guys be getting similar for?
P.s this is my tenth post so I can now see what all you guys can see with regards to post content......

Oh, and is it ok to use other manufacturers grout i.e not weber (in case I can't find any!?

I buy it slightly cheaper but buy it in bulk from Tile Town in Derby, goes off quick but is a very good adhesive imo especially if its low dust.

 

[Opus Ceramic]

we can't really discuss what we get it for Scholester, it's a sensitive area that is only accessible via the forums arms

not a bad price, you can get it cheaper but would need to buy in bulk, as i do. I use weber Adhesives all the time now mostly weber set rapid SPF (low dust). one of my first jobs with the stuff was 110 m2 of porcelian in a Hair Salon, went down a treat with this stuff and were well stuck (had to lift one a week later as one of staff dropped a big cabinet and chipped one of the tiles, took me over an hour to remove, clean and replace) before the weber i used PCI Nanolight it was good stuff but i found it too expensive

When you buy a bag of adhesive and you want to compare the price with other brands remember the weight content.
Some are 20kg as in this case.
Some are 22kg and some 25kg.
You then have to factor into this - availability and transportation/collection costs.
When you have built up an ongoing relationship with a supplier to will get those preferential rates that are being qouted until then 'stick' to an adhesive you have confidence in.
OH! by the way I use Webber.

You can't go wrong with Weber powder gear, used it since I started 8 years ago. CTD were knocking out Weber set plus white for the mad price of 8 pounds a bag plus VAT last year. I used this on a porcelian floor and made a very nice profit!

I love SP rapid, grey or white, but you must be prepared to work fast and wash out your bucket every mix............Don't really like the bucket gear, but the shop I go to is a main Ardex seller so I' OK.........:hurray:

Me to. Where are you from mate. Do you go to Stores road or London road?

I like the adhesive but beware it goes off double quick! I love Weber Set Plus white. £10 a bag, for a slow setting white powder

 

[TrumpersUnited]

I go to both shops in derby. Tile Town actually know what they're talking about unlike Topps!

I buy no more ply and dural CI matting from them too, also handy that they have a decent website.

Shame about the team you support though burnsy!

We use webber all the time and find it to be an excellent quality adhesive.
