    Default Adsilex P9 vs Tubbed Addy

    I was given a free bag of Adsilex P9 to try. It was recommended by my usual supplier, as they said that's what most of their lads used, as opposed to using tubbed addy.

    Just wondered if anyone here uses it instead of tubbed, and if you still use tubbed ever?

    I decided to use it one the tanked/wet walls of the en-suite I'm currently working on. It seemed to go on really nice, seemed to get a longer open time than tubbed, and a pot life of 8 hours. What's not too like for the price?

    Never use tubs of ready mix....... I use Larson's CTA Pro for all my wall tiles.

    Just looked at the specs of the p9, thinking of mosaic work, there is no mention of wood, but do you guys reckon it might go with acrylic or latex primed wood substrates?

    No good for wood.. You will be better off using off using Kera flex maxi or P10..
