Can't u buy ur gear direct from tilemaster?

I contacted them before and was told to use a guy over here, but logistically he couldn't be in much more of a worse place, in good traffic it would take me at least 3hrs round trip, too busy for that!

TileMaster won't sell to you direct, you have to go through someone.
I use WesterHope tiles for mine but it does get sent direct from TileMaster.

Setaflex is my first choice, Ultra Proflex my 2nd. Honestly struggle to find fault with any TileMaster gear. Not used X7 for over a decade but remember it being excellent, probably pricey though.

Weber spf usually, sometimes set plus. Only for walls though, can't remember the last time I used anything but rapid on a floor

I am curious why everyone uses setaflex, which is more expensive than extrabond? Surely you only use setaflex if you need a flexible adhesive?

Who makes extra bond ?

Tilemaster, it's their standard slow set

I can get Setaflex at reasonable prices, not seen the extra bond to be honest.

 

[magga]

Oh fair enough, maybe that's why then! Extrabond is pretty cheap, can't post prices in here, but it's around 20% cheaper than set plus at CTD

It's so I'm not carrying different adhesives for jobs I'm on.
Setaflex standard, semi rapid & rapid & you have all bases covered.
Extrabond is good, I buy it now & again & there's not much price difference between that & setaflex.

Weve had on a promo setaflex semi rapid for a few months, its gone down pretty well, although i was expecting sales to takeover rapid setaflex over the hot weather.......and we havent had much hot weather!
