without sounding to old in 20 od yrs tried pretty much everything if u really want to know how good your adhesive is is see how easy it comes off your cloths after they have been through the washing machine at high temp if the adhesive is still there u know its good personally i stick to nicobond white floor adhesive holds up well and sticks like **** to a blanket on wood floors i use wf21 so good it will stick **** to a bar of soap i only do natural stone now and have done for the last ten yrs so as for ceramics i havnt a clue whats the best about at the moment mark

Re: Poll: What adhesive brand do you trust most?

Nobody uses dunlop so far then.

Taylors gave me a tub of dunlop to try out and let them know what i thought, i haven't bought a tub since and never will, i'll stick with granfix, 'good stuff':yes:

pm me or Dan your company details etc.... just to make sure you are indeed a tiler etc etc.....then we can let you in......

A listing with findtrustedtradesman or yellow pages or summit will do....and we do check the details sometimes.....

Mapei is a nice little Canadian company.
I have used their products for 20 odd years and haven't had a single issue arise from the product.
Spec it properly, mix it right and it will perform.

I have also used custom building products gear and it stands up well and is priced right.
Custom Building Products :: Professional Contractors :: VersaBond Flex(R)

Flextile makes a good product, but I am not too keen on their grouts.
Their admix for exterior makes it impossible to clean a bucket which you might have missed washing.

TEC has a good range of products.
Tile Adhesives for Commercial Tile Installations | Tecspecialty.com - http://www.tecspecialty.com/

Laticrete is my current favorite up with Mapei.

I can get all of these in Alberta and they are all very competitive in their pricing.
Some of their specialty products are pricey, but I pass that on to the customer as I am not keen on subsidizing anybodies tile project.
