afternoon all

being stuck out in deep dark devon im very limited on the adhesive i can get my hands on. basically BAL, BAL , BAL a bit of norcross and mapei as long as i wait for delivery.

i know its personal preference but when using marble or travertine on solid screeded floor which would be your adhesive of choice. i keep getting bugged by a norcross rep i know to use his stuff but heard indifferent reports on here.

cheers in advance for taking time out to answer

You will not go wrong with either Mapei or Bal..

Mapei will be cheaper no doubt.. but stick with what you know..

Mapei have a new! Stone adhesive out now.. and it is very nice to use..

I have also moved this to the adhesives forum.

cheers dave

whats the new mapei product called do you know. i do like BAL but often find it prices me out of large jobs because of the price, you know what some people are like want the best for peanuts

I do , I used to be a BAL user for a lot of years.

The Mapei one is called marble and stone adhesive , really nice to use, great bucket life and even better price
