I've used Topps fix, and i was told Palace make that. Is that correct?

Cheap crap in my opinion.

Thats correct wivers - thats what I got told too.

The topps by me in Cannock has re introduced BAL back onto its shelves, and no Toppfix.

Toppfix is crap in my opinion....

Rub it all off with your rubbing stone

That'll teach you!

Heard a couple of people lately say that the palace tub adhesives have good grab etc etc. Have they changed anything recently?

I have used palace super grip class b adhesive for walls for ages now and find there is no stronger tub gear out there, and ive tried them all I used to do a demo in the training centre with a 9mm 30x30 floor tile, half fill the back, stick it on the wall, draw a line under it, leave in for 30 mins and bring everyone back to see if it had moved, same place on the line every time, payed £4.50 direct from palace, used their multi flex as well under a tenner done the job with no problems to date, Bal is obviously a great make but is getting on the expensive side and if your supplying materials can make the difference between getting the job or not, Bal best for grouts though

Cheers Darren - would like to see more posts by people like you - forum can be a bit bleak sometimes - many newbies and not so many experienced.
Cheers

Palace used to have a bad name and sometimes names stick, there tub gear is quite stiff to trowel but you get used to it, its the no battens, non slip properties that make it exceptional, just stike up your level tile line half way up the wall and tile straight along it, level it off with your spirit level and then tile down to the floor
