    BAL WP1 Tanking System - Question.

    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.

    Bal Rapidset and SBR

    Does BAL Rapidset work fine with SBR rather than AD1? Got a few bags I swapped on a job but don't like using non flexible adhesives on anything.

    Bal Green star Adhesive

    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...
