Hi, yes the price you were sold at was retail price. If you are a trader the price for toppfix(palace adhesive) 20kg flex white is £16.49 If you havent got a trade account get signed up, Nearly 50% of all stated tile prices and more on adhesive and grout. Thanks scott.

Hi

If its uncut slate of variable thickness then cost out Mapei Adesilex P4, bed thickness can be varied up to 20mm thick to accomodate variable thickness of slate. If slate is cut and of same thickness cost oiut Mapei Keraquick

you might save a few bob!!

I used to find the price varied too much with Topps from shop to shop and Manager to Manager.

Hi All

thanks for your response - We took the Adhesive back to Topps and they exchanged it for BAL PTB adhesive and gave us a great discount at around £20.

now lets see how the wife gets on with the tiling!!!

I can see that you are keen to keep the labour cost down but is that a wise decision!!

Check out Ardex's products. They've got some good gear for fixing slate.

I use porcel flex by sovereign on slate and any other dark natural stone £16.50 for 20kg grey, Don't knock it until your;ve tried it.

I see this product requires new concrete and cement screeds to have matured for a month. Does that waiting period apply to most/all similar products, and will the same apply if we use some kind of exterior grade self-levelling floor compound such as Adesilex P4?

We're tiling over some rather thin and patchy concrete which was laid about 4 years ago. It's going to need some kind of something first to cover where weeds are breaking through (!) as well as levelling to get rid of a slight slope.

hi selina,what do you mean weeds are breaking through?

are you tiling outdoors ie over slabs?
