Interesting wee look at their website just now. They have never laid anyone off or gone into the red in their entire history. Impressive!!

I use Keraquick all the time now and it is splendid stuff. Their pot gear is very good and is sold at a very competative price as well.

However, don't try to use their multi-colours grout on walls, a nightmare to wash off!!! They have wall grout for walls, so use it!!

I only use Mapei adhesives now.....love the stuff, used the floor leveller, it's 2part and expensive but very good, grouts for walls are a pain to clean off, sets very fast, silicone is also excellent and available in many colours..Mark.

Do they do a dispersion adhesive suitable for mosaics etc.....?.
