I had a ceramic floor job last week, 'stupidly' i left my washboy sponges in the shed drying and something squashed them...
Anyway, i'd seen that Topps had started selling them so i stopped on the way and bought one...what a waste of time and money...i might as well have used a piece of plastic, resorted to the rubi sponge and loads of clean water
Promptly ordered some 'proper' sponges from our friends at Tradetiler, they arrived early tuesday morning...normal business was resumed tuesday afternoon

I just stick mine in water, that seems to bring back to life......

Glad to be warned of topps version

Beam might try that with er indoors see what happens it may work

DOUG you lot are very wicked indeed

One of the things we got as feedback was that tilers dont like messing with their sponges!

In our sales pitch we were encouraning people to use their own sponges. But it seems tilers are very protective of their sponges and dont like to mix jobs.

Thats why we decided to introduce our own little sponge.



I've just got back from ToolFair and I cant tell you how many people got very excited to get a free sponge if they bought a drill kit on the day!

I had no idea its such an emotive subject. We actually run out of sponges on day one. Next show we will remember to stock up!

you sponger you

All tilers like sponge

Nice one Pete

Topps are just a waste of time and money, they used to sell half decent gear but now they just sell utter rubbish. You cant beat the sponges from Trade Tiler. The course that i took (PTS) in Warrington also sell decent sponges. Been on a job in Manchester since June and only gone through about 5 sponges, not bad at £1.25 each

in there defence,they sell rubi sponges small and large at decent trade prices.

I use the ardex sponges, they seem to last for ever and give a perfect finish with little effort
