Bal adhesives - TilersForums.com

I have just recently finished a tiling course (as my volume of questions will soon prove) and I am starting my first job tomorrow. It's a 16m2 kitchen floor. I went to get my materials today at Topp's and I was hoping to get SPF adhesive rapid set. They told me that Bal didn't make it. I don't know if this is me being stupid and misunderstanding what I was told, but do anyother manufacturers make a rapid set SPF adhesive.

Also, adhesive, grout and primer cost me £132 trade. Is that about right or am I buying needlessly expensive materials? The job is worth £530 so there is still a good margin in it

bal spf is a slow setting adhesive which sets in about 16hrs. you would need bal rapid setting flexible adhesive which sets in about 3hrs.....
