I'm over in Jarrow Dave, out the Army in 3 weeks, just spent a wad on tools from NETT, funny you should mention CTD I applied for a trade account about a month ago but haven't heard anything back I presumed it got lost in the post so I was going to get another trade account form. Do you have contact with them? I'd appreciate any help

Yes it is, look on the back of the bags where is says "Building Adhesives Limited". Also, an old mate of mine used to be a Rep for BAL although he reckons the proper BAL stuff is better. He said it's like Kellogs making cornflakes for a supermarket, they aint gonna make them as good as their own!

Mapei for me, a lot of tilers and specifiers use Bal, but to me they are overpriced products.
