    Default webber adhesive

    Can any one tell me if the following is any good in comparison to mapei gear, the customer has already got the weber stuff, i would rather use mapei but don't want to cause any problems by insisting if the weber stuff is ok. Floor is chipboard which will be overlaid with 6mm backerboard.

    I've used it for years and never had a problem, flexi is an s1 adhesive like keraquick and now low dust pretty impressive gear. The weber set plus is spot on as well.

    How much are you guys getting the weber grey flexi for? I'm considering it over topfix for my current job using porcalain, walls and floor.

    My local(ish) tile shop stocks mostly Weber, but they don't seem to stock a standard spf!?! They do a cheapish Rapid set, or Stonefix which costs a small fortune. I'm beginning to think that all local tilers just use tubbed, as when i ask for spf i just get a blank look and have to spell out single part flexi... To which they give me rapid set!?!?!
