So I suppose I can't really say. I've heard palace isn't too professional, and things like evostick etc
I've used both Bal and Mapei tub gear for years and Mapei is much easier to spread and has a higher grip.
Newbie tilers who have only ever used Bal and rarely used Mapei(if ever), should try it. Saying that, Bal Single Part Flex(cement-based) is very good. Granfix's multi-fix tub gear is also very good and self priming.
Mapei Ultracolor grout is far superior to Bal's version. Granfix wall grout is also decent.
