Been offered a good deal on their gear but wondering what it's like.

The tile shop I use switched to Norcross for a month or so. Not many got on with it and they went back to Weber. I only used there s1 rapid and wasn't impressed with how it mixed and turned a little quick in the bucket for my liking.

We used to use it as it was supplied, never had any problems with either standard or rapid.

TileMaster are the best Julian, not on price as I can get addy a good bit cheaper but price isn't my concern when I tile as I want the best.
I was curios as to what norcross adhesive was like as I have never used it & wondered why I was getting offered it so cheap.
There's no way I will be moving from TileMaster but I fit a lot of Hardie & it would be good for fixing down the boards if it was suitable.

Used for a couple of jobs as a local supplier kept in stock and they still do, not one for me.

Done a bathroom with said adhesive, leak with a shower control and plumber had to remove one tile, said was so easy was surprised. When went to replace tile there was some remaining adhesive, could'nt believe how easy it was to remove...not for me I'm afraid.
Once bitten twice shy.

We had many many problems with Norcros. Lots of failed floors and poor customer service, porcelain lifting clean off the addy though every tile was back buttered. Pro 50 leveller not setting was another problem though they did eventually admit the mix had been contaminated. 4 into 1 grout is just terrible gear to use, if you're a grout 3000 user you'll be shocked at how bad a grout can be!
