Taking the firmly placed tongue out of your cheek, what addy do you really use? I quite like Ardex X7R. Not used Bal Rapid yet as I have had free supplies of the Ardex that have just run out so I will be looking around now for suitable stuff.

Thanks Andy, I can get Dunlop up here, just not got around to trying it yet. I'll check out my pricing and see what it comes in at. I'll let you know so that we can compare prices.
