Topps rapid set adhesive.!!
Search the forum,
That might just help a little to justify the prices Topps are charging retail customers. The approved installer scheme is great - until they get the bill for their materials and have heart attacks!!!
(seperate issue - sorry!)
Nope! Coz it's pci and ardex.
And yes I am a BAL snob!
It's the snobs who are keeping me busy right now - they seem to be the only ones with any spare cash nowadays.
Look at the picture very carefully. Can you see what they unearthed along with this ancient mosaic?
Does that answer you question?!
till asda bumped the price of flour up

As a fixer I also used Palace and I had no complaints, still preffered BAL because of the added back-up service that was provided and still is.....Most of the stuff made for Topps is Palace gear.
They have even started stocking 2 part stuff as well thats a lot cheaper than BAL. (Sorry Gaz) and its good stuff as well

If I can use BAL - I always will. Consistent and high quality (- like me!)
Honestly - when I see a skip outside someone's house with cheapy adhesive and grout bags in, I don't expect the tiling inside to be as good as a house with BAL bags in the skip.
A small point and others will disagree maybe, but the pro image of BAL and the guarantee counts with a lot of my customers.
