    Mine would have to be biscem with a latex additive, I could have sold it as bubble gum, it stuck to everything, lifting the trowel up and it just kept stretching till it snapped.

    Never used it, but have had a poke at some. The B&Q/Wykes all in one Floor adhesive and grout must rank high up there?

    Mate used it in his kitchen, took over a week to dry and a further week for the grout to all start cracking

    Not adhesive, but I once did a floor in a charcoal black grout, needed extra flex so added GT1, but i didnt bother to read the instructions, and just poured the whole bottle of GT1 into the powder, planning to add the water later.

    Ended up like chewing gum and took ages to thin it out, my biceps were massive by the time i'd finished mixing it.

    Bond-It rapidset. Done a spate of work with it where the contractor was getting a pallet for about 70 quid.

    Larsen Flexible standard set, adheasive dryes in like 2,5 days, used 3 pallets of it, contractor bought it because he was buying for like 6-7 £ per bag, you could mix adhesive and go home , next day you would come in the morning and could start tiling
