    Default Strange thoughts

    I have come across some odd things in my years of tiling but this one is one of the best...or worst depending on how you see it.

    Bal AD1 is an admix for adhesives for "improving physical properties/performance" in cementitious powder adhesives.

    I met a guy recently that was adding it to dispersion adhesive claiming that it was ok to do so.......couldnt make him change his mind so i just left him to it.
