topps fix gear - TilersForums.com

Hi people

Been using Webber gear for about 8 mnths now and really like using it i get it for £6.50 per 15kg ready mix the only problem i have is that my supplier just ran out of it :sad_smile: and as i have given customer some discount on materials i need to get some gear at about the same price & topps tiles do there own and it is £6 to trade was wondering if any of you have used it and what you think of it.

Can also get granfix for £6.50 or Nicobond for £6.50

Which do you guys recommend?

cheers

Mat

my lads in the trade use the toppfix adhesives and love it....Gaz

Yep, I'll second that, topfix gives great stick, and I honestly can say it's just as good as Bal Bluestar for slippage, or lack of it, and for the price it's even better.

I kinda thought you would say it was good gaz :wink_smile:

Yeah i think i will give it a go then

Cheers lads

try the granfix supergrip that stuff will stick 600x300 tiles to walls with no slippage. not that i use it for tiles that size i just tried it one day! the nicobond gear is good as well

Tried a tub of Topps 'Grip' last week, £23 retail £15.99 trade. Only got it 'cos the customer paid. Back to tile it all (granfix) £7.00 next week! sorry topps but I know the grip is a white adhesive but the 'Grip' didn't stay live (sticky) on the wall as long as the granfix. Did the job though as I had to tile top to bottom. (long story)
