dunlop

[Ric]

anyone use or used Dunlop stuff? my local builders merchants are selling it just wondered if its ok or not worth bothering with....thanks....... also how do you get your silicone tools clean if you have left the stuff on them too long without cleaning is there a household product i will find lying around that will do the trick.

thanks again Ric

Dunlop is great gear at a good price, made in the same factory as BAL, although not exactly the same still good quality and performance.

I had a bad experience with Dunlop about 7 years ago, and have never used it since, might be ok now but once bitten and all that. Bal, Granfix and the likes no problems ever

 

[howard]

Ive used the tubbed gear twice its fine no problems with it

 

[Holohana]

if i could get it local id use it all the time. However I have to pay for the likes of BAL or PCI instead!

 

[floydyboy]

i have used Dunlop on several jobs and not had any problems with it,
it is good value and has got good grab properties and like stated above it is manufactured by BAL so it must be good gear as ican not see BAL producing rubbish, so it a for me.

I`ll echo the positive comments.
Dunlop is great stuff, and if bought at the right price well worth using!

I use Dunlop powder all the time, its what my locl shop supplies, apparently BAL will supply smaller shops direct with dunlop but BAL product go through wholesalers so they can get a good price on the dunlop. I reckon its great gear, nice to work with and I pay 14 quid for a 20kg bag of SPF so no complaint there, there grouts are good too.

 

[bearwithme]

i dont have much exp of using other bagged stuff, so all i can say is used dunlop on most jobs. never had any comebacks or problems with at all.

 

[macten]

I like the stuff. Bal market the Dunlop more toward the DIYer so it's cheaper but almost as good imo. You even get a bucket with the 2 part rapid set floor addy.
Their tanking kit is great value too - exactly the same as BAL's apart from the colour (one is white, one is grey)

 

[Perry]

my guys have the same trouble with there tools but i don't as i clean mine but then again i pay for the tools :lol:

 

[Peter]

Was doing bathroom walls recently with Dunlop powdered stuff out of a purple bag. Didn't think it was much use to be honest. Even with a bucket mixed stiff the tiles were still sliding.

 

[White Room]

Use battens that will stop the sliding

 

[Peter]

Shouldn't need to use battons though when other adhesives can hang the same tile without them.

 

[White Room]

Depending on the tile size and type.

Im a dunlop man, good gear sensible prices. No problems at all. Try it and see.
I prefer it to Ardex which my local shop also stocks.
