Bal White Star

[WHID to?]

Just been doing a little research ahead of my first proper tiling for a person other than my family when I happened across this item on Ebay. 3 x 10L tubs of White Star .... £38? Not sure what the going rate is or how old this stuff is but it may be worth an email to the seller if you are up in that next of the woods (Wirral):

3 x 10 Litre Tubs of Bal White Star Tile Adhesive on eBay, also, Adhesives Glue, DIY Materials, Home Garden (end time 29-Mar-09 14:52:24 BST)

Mods: Please delete this post if its against the rules and what have you. Have seen other Ebay stuff on here before.

It's not that cheap anyway.....:lol:...


Cement based is better by far...

Just out of interest then, how much would a 10l tub cost, trade obviously?

first time i've ever seen a 10kg tub and it's the only tubbed gear i tend to use now,it's usually the 15kg i buy and it's about £16 so it isn't working out any cheaper especially when p&P is thrown in!

Just thought if someone lived up that way may work out all right for them that's all. A couple of the website quoting well in excess of 13 or whatever per tub + VAT and delivery.

If you were close enough to pop in on your way home to collect and you used it and it might do a turn.... you might even be able to make em an offer

if I was to use a tubbed addy, it would be me addy of choice, but wouldn't hunt especially for it. Rather use spf these days

Last time i got 1 it was about £11.75 a tub....

But i only use bagged gear and thats cheaper still...but a good deal for someone who can't get it cheapish..

Dont get mixed up with this, its a 10 litre tub, not 10 KG, not bad in this instance, when your comparing price for price across different brands dont get mixed up or you could end up paying more for less etc.


Also, the ebay price isnt really that cheap, I pay about £12 a tub, im always weary about buying off ebay, shelf life and all that.

CTD mate, although i dont buy it, when I do use tubbed i normally get mapei or webber, Mapei D1 is on offer for £5 for a 15kg tub !!

Yeah I mentioned the age of it in my first post.

Still if you are paying 12 per tub and this is 38 for 3 tubs then I guess it might be OK for someone.

 

[Olz]

The age is just something to bear in mind, A customer once got aload of buildfix something or other, tubbed stuff, he never checked the date when he bought it, when i cracked the tub open it stank like urine, it had also seperated about half and inch of liquid on the top, took about a week for him to get the smell out of his house. :lol:

 

[brian c]
