found that with the CTD ultra.
now using bal, yes more expensive but like it and is right to work with the water they say use.

I add a little more water to Magix when using very large format.
I think the recommended 4.2ltrs (iirc) makes it a little too firm for my liking.

BAL don't make a lightweight do they?
Supercover was ok but the white was useless.

I've avoided BAL for many years but I've been using it a bit recently for a certain contact and I find it nice to use. They don't do a light weight tho. Infact there latest adhesive is marketed as 'gel' and shares characteristics with the pourable one so that's gonna be the opposite of light !

yes, sorry, wasn't talking light weight adhesive.

seen the new bal semi rapid in action and if you shop around it can be got for the same price as rapid, but for my normal working methods it is to slow.

I was using ultra spes the other week on a fair size floor and I thought I would measure the water out to get a consistent mix throughout, which I always do in that situation but first time with this product. I was using a good 6 litres. Recommended is 5.2 - 5.5.

White spes is unusable at correct water amount
