affordable adhesive?

[Dave-T]

Hi.
I work for a tiling supply/fixing company, and we've dealt with bal for as long as i can remember. We'll still allways use this predominantly as in my opinion its by far the best in the industry. The problem is, some customers are on a very tight budget and look for supply only and want cheap adhesive. We've dealt with weber and palace in the past, and quite frankly theyre nothing short of useless. Weber particularly so.
we're looking for a range of adhesives that we can supply to customers who are just looking to get a job done cheaply. any suggestions of any decent adhesives to stock?
The company has been around for about 25 years and we've built an excellent reputation for quality, so i wont stock adhesive that isn't high quality. But we do need a cheaper alternative sometimes to bal.

Thanks in advance
Dave

Have you tried Granfix?

I use this all the time and it is very good stuff at a good price.

Dunlop is made by bal but a lot cheaper also biscem is a good adhesive and lots cheaper than bal

I used Palace multi flex white this week for the first time just to test it out. It was 15 quid per 20 kg bag, and i thought it was f'in great stuff, and cheaper than i get Bal flexi for. I know u say u've had problems wiv them, but after using it this week i would definatley recomend.

Ohh and Mapei gear is quality too. )

Palace seem to have a bad rep on past products, but I suggest giving them another go as their gear is a lot better now. We used Palace exclusively during my training with no issues whatsoever. I've also used the same as Wivers above and had no problems at all.
