My local Merchant now stock Bal Mosaic Fix. Just wondered if it's really worth the extra money? All i can really see, is that its a bright white colour. Anything else i'm missing here? Iv been using CTF4 for the last year and its great. White enough for me. Any other opinions on it?

Hi Guys
I'm just about to tank a shower cubicle, I have my shower tray and shower installed.
However in BAL's documentation I can't find out how long between coats you'll need to
leave it.
Also any hints, tips or general advise on tanking would be greatly appreciated.
Kindest Regards
Simon.

Hi there. My name's Eric and I've decided to have a go at tiling parts of the bathroom in my new (new to me) house. I've never tiled walls before - I've tiled floors but never floors. I'm a bit of a worrier and so want to check with people who know what they're doing before I start!

Hey all,
Just had the pleasure of using Bal green star!!! The drying time seems to take an age. Unfortunately customer had already purchased.
Are you guys finding the same? Hopefully this can lead to a thread of which adhesives you are finding drying quicker at the lower end of the market.

Hi all,
Up to recently I've used BAL tubbed adhesive for small format tiles and Topps Trade cement-based adhesives for large format. I find when starting tiling from the middle of the wall the Topps Trade adhesive lets the tiles slip too much, no matter how hard they are twisted and pressed...
