Cheap budget wall tile adhesive
I'm currently selling a Adhesive from Bond-it called super grip each has an RRP £5 a bucket
Does anyone know of any brand that cheaper?
I know the quality might not be great but my customers want an alternative to BAL

For £5 how big is the bucket?
BAL are normally too expensive for me, so I normally end up with Uni bond or something.

Yes, there are customers who want cheap nasty tat, a bit like buying 'george' jeans, instead of levis.............I, for course, wear Tesco premium jeans.royaloakcarpentry wrote:pmsl....my customers dont want the best............nice customer base that want cheap nasty tat then?
Anyway, I have been impressed with topp tiles powder rapid set. £11 a bag. I find it the same as bal rapid set to work with, unlike the unibond stuff out of bnq that starts becoming unworkable after 10 minutes.

I use Sealocrete rapid set when not using Nicobond and find that is a good alternative. Buildbase stock the sealocrete and thier tubbed addy is ok too.

Will your customers also want a refund when the tiles end up in the bath!ThinkTiles wrote: I know the quality might not be great but my customers want an alternative to BAL
Most things are cheap for a very good reason.
If at first you don't succeed - remove all evidence that you tried.
