hi guys! new 2 this but getn used 2 the site now,brill 4 pikn up tips n hints! was reading an earlier thread by darren bout palace adhesive n not use,ing batons! is that right? do u still start from the bottom of the wall n work up? does any1 know who stocks it in glagow?

The point Darren was making was that the grip of the Palace tub adhesive is sufficient enough not not need to use battons.
Basically mark up the room and away you go.
It is quite firm to apply but gives a very good bond.

you can buy direct from them their called palace chemicals but you gotta buy a pallet load not very good if your just starting out coz by the time you get to use them they will be out of date also tops tiles stock them but you need trade account because to expensive without

Topps tiles - in my view one of the most expensive places to buy adhesive from - even at trade - rip off :icon8:

hi - i'm doing a course at pts in harlow at the mo, we had ardex come in for a morning to do a demo on their adhesives and grouts. they had one for use without batons - the guy put a brick on a piece of plasterboard to prove how strong the adhesive is/was. impressive.

Palace prices at topps trade about £5.50 palace super grip tub, £8 for 20kg bag rapid set, £14 bag multi flex.
Tile it all in the North East stock granfix stuff at about the same price
