[weeman]

Hi all,

just finished my first job (bathroom floor) and all went well but i was shocked at the price i paid for adhesive bal rapidflex from topps 20kg for £50!!
does anyone know of a good alternative but not quite so pricey.

Trade at Topps for flexi white is £16, not BAL tho!!

BAL Rapid white is about £26 i think which is still too much for traders i reckon! £15 for grey rapid!

Get yer sen an account in a few places. Grouts cheaper in one place than anothert and so on.

Shop around for chrome trims n all!

is there a big difference in qaulity beetween £16 stuff and BAL?

The vast majority of my supplies are the toppfix range. They have never let me down and are as good as anything else.

I can't argue with that, I recently changed to Toppfix (after some gentle persuasion from a particular Topps member on this forum) and I'm very impressed with it, use it on nearly all my jobs now, occasionally I will use BAL depending on the circumstances and if customer will pay for it as, like Dave says, it is the best gear on the market.
