powder by choice for me, but if I'm doing a kitchen splashie and customer has got a reputable tubbed stuff and walls are good, I'll use it  I've voted for powder, 'cos that's my preferred addy

Used power for so long now, Just dont see the point in using something that takes an age to dry, I used a tub of granfix about 4 years ago just to see if it had improved, went to drill a hole the next day and the tile was still moving!!   that was the last time everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
