    Might sound strange but a mapei white it was code 0 (i think ) it was like a wide joint and when spreading just fell off the walls.

    I can't agree, PCI Aquafug is the best, when you learn how to use it properly

    Bisazza Filgel, its nasty, it gives you a rash and they will charge you £25.00 to cover 1m2 for it on top of the tiles. If anyone wants some Ive got about 60 boxes of the stuff in the yard somewhere....
