MapeGrip D2

Just used MapeGrip D2 on a tiling job at home, dead impressed.

I have used ready mixed adhesives before and they have been sh*t, especially on larger tiles.

However I used D2 on 50x20 tiles and this stuff sticks like sh*t to a duvet!

As good as the powder adhesives I have mixed up before.

They should be, I have a direct Mapei account with mapei and do quite a large turnover with them, and if they arent on the wall they will be paying for a new bathroom!

Its designed to fix extra large wall tiles for contract installations, so i should be OK in a domestic bathroom :wink:

I have used this recently and found it to have good grab qualities. With this size of tile I would allow several days before I grouted, as its a dispersion adhesive.

Mapei are fantastic adhesives but I'd still say that size tile is too large for a dispersion addy, my choice would have been keraflex I have to say, sorry

I agree. I would have used Adesilex P9 myself.
