cant you get some sample bags of them to try

Give it a trial, i got 5 free bags of slow set sontex that i started using today( very slow but great coverage).
And i got 5 free bags of mapei ultraflex to test and it's superb as an S2 grade( goes of real quick on substrate but stays good in bucket).
Give us a review on the arc and prices maybe?

hi everyone.i live in the south of ireland in a place called cork.local tile shop started buying arc lately. its lovely stuff to use.it has great coverage, easy to spread but is slow to go off. LT 33 is the flexi white and most of the tilers here have switched to it.

Thanks macken, it's good to hear about it.
There is another being from Cork on here at times, John is his name.(must check his username)

it takes a bit of getting used to mixing.
takes alot more water than the rest.
and just when you are going to add more adhesive to the bucket dont.looks wet but is perfect.
stays perfect in bucket.

thanks for that macken makes me feel a bit more comfortable using it knowing that its good stuff cheers i will do a little review on it next week when i will be using it!

Incidentally - I see that Arc manufacture Gorilla Tape. This is amazing stuff - I used it to secure plastic across a door frame on a building during a gale in the pouring rain - next day - plastic still secure thanks to Gorilla tape.

Not sure if Gorilla Tape is any good for stopping badly fixed tiles falling off a wall, but I expect it is!
