Another Tilemaster convert?

[Rich Midge]

So after reading all the positive posts and given their current standing in the poll it seems fate has lead me to Tilemaster. We were running short on addy last week, our supplier couldn't get our usual gear until late this week but said he could get Tilemaster in 48hrs. Tomorrow we've got 30 bags of Setaflex and 12 bags of Ultimate to get stuck into. Will post my thoughts when I've given it a fair chance. I really hope its as good as I think its going to be, looking forward to getting away from our usual gear.

[Lee@emctiles]

i will be astounded if you dont like it!

 

[Gazzer]

Me too, they have been my surprise company of the year.

Ok its been an age, Christmas has come and gone etc! Views in short are as follows. On the whole, hugely impressed. Setaflex mixes easily, spreads nice, workable pot life, possibly the nicest s1 I've used. Ultimate took a little getting used too if honest. Couldn't quite the mix right for a while. Probably not the easiest adhesive to work with just because of the elasticity of the mix. However, I can live with that and the fact it took forever to cure because when it does its like the proverbial s#!t to a blanket. Also now used the tradeflex. Again very impressed,but for the extra pennies I'll be sticking with Setaflex. Pun intended.

We're abouts in Liverpool do you get your Tilemaster from rich?

 

[Rich Midge]

This was a job in Wales so came from a supplier over there. I think Liverpool Tiles/Old Swan Tiles stock it over here.

 

[tobins tiling]

Yes they do mate them and tileworld in Bootle (derby rd) are the only ones who Tilemaster supply to. Have you tried using the flex master primer /admixture in with the trade flex or seta flex it's the same as the ultimate very good

 

[Rich Midge]

No mate, not used the admix yet. Has Tileworld stopped trading? I work alot in Wales, the tilemaster stockist over there told me they had. I'd never even been in there to be honest, doing a bit for EG at the minute.

Tilemaster. Have some great adhesives,the level flex is brilliant 5ltr of water and whole bag in a bucket and it levels perfectly with hardly any effort

They closed for about a week mate and then reopened the Bootle shop and closed the brombough shop but there back open now (not the brombough one) I also do a bit for e.g the Bootle shop tho the blue ultra adhesive is a very good adhesive as well goes off a bit quick like

I agree mate very good leveller when you try and clean the bucket out the next day it's all stuck together by the fibres. It flows very nicely too

 

[Rich Midge]

Looking forward to using the leveller. Agree with you on the Ultra Proflex, Instamac have been my preferred choice for powders for years but had to use a lot of Norcros this last couple of years (sub contracting work). Had a free week, so I've been doing displays at Belmont rd. This is generally my quietest time of year.

 

[tobins tiling]

Sounds like we'll probably bump into each one day mate both doing bits for eg il look forward to it

I had priced the job up as well and just missed out Ian:yikes: but Gary was saying the job was pain so that softened the blow haha.
