in my local tile shop here in northern ireland new product in buildfix ultimate grab by mapei was worndering if anyone else uses it or is it crap good price £12 pounds for 15kg tubs going to use it for splashbacks and small jobs any help appreciated!

Can't help with this I am afraid. I only use powdered stuff now. Though if it is a Mapei product I am sure it would be at least OK.

Don't recognize the name 'ultimate grab' but if you compare your addy with mapeis 'little black book', (on their website in pdf) I pay a fiver for the D1

I believe the buildfix is the range of mapei gear that B&Q are now stocking.....

are you not cheaper using green star! topps do it trade for abot £6

we dont have topps here in northern ireland only tile market not as cheap for us £10 to £12 is actually reasonable for tub stuff are range is very limited.my local tile shop dosent even do bal unfortunatley i would use pci nano lite goes on like foam but no one does it here that stuff is in my opinion the easiest to work with. I used it on my course in NETT in newcastle darren said it was the best stuff he has used!

yes dave your right £12 in b&q what do you think of it was going to use it for splashbacks!

I'm sure it'd be ok for splashbacks, but like most guys on here I only use powdered addy these days. It's gonna be a dispersion addy so it's gonna need at least 24 hours before grouting.I'm sure if it's by mapei tho' it'll be one of the better tubbed addy's

I have used the mapei D1 and if it's the same sticky mate , it is not bad....good open time and sticks like poo to a blanket....
