My local Topps guy told me Bal are no longer making Whitestar, it is to be replaced with BAL grip or BAL white-grip, can't remember exactly what he said. Any one else heard of this?

The guy said this new stuff is supposed to be better, not sure how as Whitestar is the dogs!

I used Whitestar for the first time today and have to agree! It's far better than the cheap brands I am used to using!

will check this out t/moz martin mate... dave...

I agree...why fix something that isn't broke?

If this BAL Grip is supposed to be better than the Whitestar it is replacing then it must be some heavy duty s**t!

whitestar is hear to stay.....................thank god...

I have it straight from my freindly BAL techno boys and area manager WHITE STAR IS HERE TO STAY its the number one best selling tub adhesive BAL make and that is official,three cheers for BAL hip hip,hip hip,hip hip,

hooray...hooray....hooray....

Is whitestar flexible? I have never used it? cheers Sean

yes flexable to a certain degree ,you cant use it on floors though

yeah, its flexible and waterproof. Fantastic if you have to tile on wooden or plasterboard walls. I pretty much only use white star these days, in my opinion, its the best tub adhesive. More expensive, but anyone who's had to strip off tiles in a room thats been tiled in whitestar will know what quality stuff it is.

Cheers guys, I have been using bal grip as thats all they sell at Derby. Thanks again, s

how do you rate the BAL grip Sean???

Wot do u lot use to clean your tools after using white star/Grip.

I hate that bit at the end of the day.........scraping the ****e out of my trowels

I always had a bucket of fairly hot water handy all day and cleaned at the end of each application
get those green pan scourers,very handy to have for cleaning empty adh buckets for re-use
