    Default HG sealers in filling station???

    Hi all,
    just heard from a tile shop employee this evening about a local filling station and food store selling HG sealers,the whole range apparently.
    Is this normal or is it a sign of things to come,lol.
    I'll be telling the wife when she's doing the shopping to lift me some lithofin and mapei rapid set,lol.

    well they cant sell any to tilers as there are so many better products available to us, so selling them in retail outlets is probably the direction they are going down

    Just need to judge when the market bottoms out to get a refill. I get about 18p off pump prices so I should continue to make savings.
