    Whitestar isn't waterproof, just more water resistant than say Bluestar.

    What you would class as the best adhesive would really come down to what application you have in mind.

    If I had to choose an adhesive as the best then I'd probably go for Bal Supercover, great gear and can be used in so many applications.

    Cheers for the help guys. I think I'll go for BAL.

    A salesman in an tile shop tried to sell me Granfix but I'm sure I was told that that stuff was wasn't up to much. It was cheap. but there must be a reason it was so cheap? Yes or no?
