Hi all

Need to be able to direct a customer to a sockist of Benfer. Anyone know if any of the big tile stores carry Benfer products in stock e.g. tile giant etc etc. Job is in Humberside. All help greatly appreciated

Must be big socks mate...

I have found two outlets through the tile association but they are both smallish outlets - I am looking for a tile giant type place to get Benfer Tile Adhesives and primers.

Any help appreciated

You will know that coz you work for them....

Have just recently used Benfer flex rapido that the customer had supplied and not a great experience.
It was an undercover outside porch,hot weather but mixed and kept in the shade.
Did expect it to not last to long in the pot but i had 5 mins max and the tile was firmly stuck 2 mins after.
150mm terracotta slighty random sized tiles and not possible to adjust.
Explained to the builder to no avail and ended up using Mapei adhesive i have for another job to successfully complete.
One and a half bags out of pocket

Fabtastic - What area do you work in - do you stock or can you get hold of benfergyps to supply on to tilers and clients so they can use it with anhydrite screeds. I have found one stockist in the Leeds area and one in Preston. Both are now on my list of essential contacts. I have passed 3 people to both this week already.

Valuable advice I know but not sure in this case its relevent cos I only want to get hold of the Benfergyps which being gypsum based it will (I think) have a longer pot life. Will monitor it though cos if the Gyps aint no good I won't suggest it to my customers
