Default Excel Bond tubbed adhesive

Hello all

Was in a local tile distributers today, got talkin to one of the guys working there. He gave me tub of Excel Bond adhesive away to try out. To be honest i've never heard of the stuff and not to sure about giving it a try, usually stick to BAL.

Was just wondering if anyones tried it and what they thought.

(Ive read the post by Tedley34 from a few months back n nobody had used it. Was just to see if any change)

Cheers, Ryan.

excelbond gear is alright i use it now and again there floor adhesive is good stuff and well priced.

i now what you mean about the wall adhesive it can be runny sometimes but you can get another tub and it would be bang on
