Fast Flex Trowel

[cjbombero]

After a couple of previous threads where I was mulling over the pro's and cons of boarding out a chipboard floor I have decided to use BAL Fast flex instead.

Main problem is I can't seem to find anywhere online that sells Solid Bed Tipped Trowels, any ideas?

Also I have only got one 7.5kg bag and liquid to do a 3 sq m floor, the meterage on the bag makes me feel like I might be pushing my luck a bit, can anyone with previous experience put my mind at rest?

7.5 is a little on the lightside more like 9kg tbh, also if you want a tipped trowel I can send you one out if you want? Cost wise I think there around £17 but will check. Would take acouple of days mind.

bal used to do their own solid bed trowel as i remember looked like a mosaic trowel with big lugs on the end try trade tiler they might have them or buy brand tools or trimline or millcott tools

your on the border line with the meterage mate special if you haven't used it before

Thanks guys,

I have double checked the meaurements and the floor is exactly 2.47 sq m, obviously rounded it up for the quote. Now that i had agreed the price with the customer i'm a bit worried that i will have to swallow the cost of another bag of fast flex. As i'm a new tiler i've not got the best trade discounts, another bag will probably wipe out any profit from the floor,

What do I do?

A tipped trowel is preferable but not essential. What are you fixing and what size?
