Only done three jobs ever and used bal white star no problems but on last job ran out so quickly got some unibond and it wasn't as good kept slipping off the trowel, just not as sticky. | | |

Used Bal for ages until out of convienience ran into Mapei, found it much easier to work with for some reason, covers with alot less effort (does what I want it to do, control it easier, it wants to look pretty n uniform before the tile goes on). I find the grouts take a bit more cleaning up but hey, maybe I should work a bit less messy, but a brill colour selection.
More expensive for me but worth the extra few pennies to make my life easier on a monday morning. | | |

Going to throw hat in the ring and say Dunlop adhesive. It is one of the brands that Building Adhesive sells (the other being BAL) so it has good heritage. Can't really tell the difference between flexible rapid set (BAL) and set fast plus (Dunlop). | | |

With regards to the ownership question Building Adhesives, the company that sells BAL and Dunlop, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ardex GmbH. It's on the BAL website in the section 'about building adhesives' | | |

Gaz @ topps,
looking back at tjsmilers reply (Futher down the page) of the list of what he uses (very helpful for newbies may I add) My local Topps tiles says they only stock the bal blue star & grip, but don't stock white star (although they will order it) I get the impression that not all topps tile stores stock the same items. Is this correct? why is this? It's just that tjsmiler uses white star for showers & blue star for kitchens. Could blue star not be used for both?
