    Just used a few bags of white nicobond rapidflex, goes off quite quick (bit too quick for me) will not use nicobond again due to the bad service i got from the tech team.

    Mapei and Bal spf in future. white if tiles are white, im not the cleanest tiler yet.

    Beige ish wall tiles, usually use profix for floors on ply but going to try hardibacker next time due to price of ply, been using Dunlop standard set plus on walls about£10 plus vat for grey £ 16 + vat for white. Most of the time white wall grout but recently Mapei ultracoulour jasmine.

    Generally if you are using a light coloured grout it is best to have a light coloured adhesive but if you work clean you will be ok with grey.

    You should be able to get profix cheaper that £10 inc vat from CTD.

    Now that the Mapei gear has been reduced at CTD ill be switching to them for grey and white, bal mosiac fix is good when white is needed for mosiacs etc, but is a bit more pricey.
