    Makeker flex is getting binned in Dundee shop though, think this new stuff is aimed at the trade levels to compete against topps stuff, prices are from Ł6.** etc, got all grout in foil and the tubbed adhesive is only good for the bucket !!

    It's called Proflex. Just slightly different to Mapeker. Has Tile Giant on side of the bag. The grey tubs are in between the red and blue tubs(if that makes sense) and another tub but cant remember what that 1 was.

    Think the price is the same as mapeker just now.

    Sounds about right, I had a call a couple of weeks ago from TG to advise that they had some "new" adhesives coming in. I've been waiting for the deliveries before passing comments but the prices are supposed to be really good .

    Yes, yes I do

    ProQuick - Equivalent to Standard Mapei Rapid Set
    ProFlexible Grey - Equivalent to Mapeker Grey (C2F)
    ProFlexible White - Equivalent to Mapeker White (C2F)
    ProGrip - Equivalent to MapeGrip D2

    All come with Tile Giant green packaging.

    As far as I know, stores will stop stocking Mapei Rapid Set and Mapeker, but will continue with all the other products.

    Aberdeen branch just started stocking these last week at a very competitive price, thought it was just a gimmick at first, nice to know the sales person wasn't trying to pull a fast one.
