Bal Rapidset or Bal Flexi
Hi, was wondering if it's possible to use normal Bal Rapidset on 2 large floor areas instead of Bal Flexi. I got 2 very large jobs of 110m2 in total of plywood floors and was hoping to save some money. I've got a trade card with Topps but the Flexi is still expensive, but don't want to use the Rapidset if it's going to cause problems later on. Cheers

Re: Bal Rapidset or Bal Flexi
Simple answer mate, no. You can use rapidset with admix AD1 if the floor is prepped properly a la BAL recommendations and this would be more expensive than rapidset flexy but also more flexible.

It is only £24, but the Rapidset is £15 and when your buying around 30bags that's a big difference. Thanks for the replies, fairly new to the game and was just making sure. Looks like it's the flexi.

Re: Bal Rapidset or Bal Flexi
personally i cant see that using SP is a good idea but thats just me,for me it must be 2 PT.
if you want cheap 2PT then topps do palace rebranded topps for £16.
