    Default Alternative to BAL mosaic

    Almost finished tiling the bathroom now.

    I've got a small amount of BAL mosaic left in the bag, which should do the odds and ends, but I also need to build and tile the removable bath panel and tile a splashback for the sink. I don't think I've got enough to do this as well.

    I have a tup of that weber fix left over from a job last year. As it was only £4.99 plus vat, I bought a bit over. Would that do the trick?

    It's not that I'm tight (although many may think I am ) it's just that I need to travel some 20 miles to get another bag, which I will use about a quarter of if that.

    Thanks Dave

    2 problems;

    Either will require me to go into Plymouth, whereas I've alredy got the weber fix tub.
    The CTD region that I'm served by doesn't stock Mapai products. They've referred me to an independents who are not as generous with their discounts as CTD are.

    Would using the Weber fix be a problem? I know its a dispersion addy but the tiles are very small

    the other thing I have got is some Profix fast set flexi.

    Doesn't give me a huge amount of time to set them out though.

    It looks like I've got to make another trip in any case
