Vote for only one. Adhesive reps voting for their own brand will have their votes removed. Votes will be public. Please only vote for the brand you used most during 2016.

If you could let us know where you are buying from and which versions you are buying that'd be cool. Don't mention trade prices though please this is a public thread.

If any brand isn't listed let me know and I'll add it for you. If any have gone bump or changed names let me know and I'll edit the options.

Good luck to all firms.

Was there a specific one or should I make it multiple choice?

[Philjb82]

Generally Mapei for adhesive. And Granfix for grout.

 

[mma]

Tilemaster, Setaflex. Grout 3000

 

[Old Mod]

Tilemaster Setaflex in the main.
Grout 3000 and Mapei UCP
I'll buy from whoever gives me the best price on the day.
Bleakleys in Thames Ditton are a good reliable source for TM but sometimes I find the ranges they carry somewhat limited. Unless I'm using by the pallet.

Mapei keraflex and keraquick mainly for me last year

These are brands of adhesives that are circulating in Italy.
and every month it grows a new one.
now, only the control symbols, s1, s2, ce, etc. .that I find use.

my favorite, remains kerakoll no limits, in normal and rapid semi version.
extreme version, for iron wood and everything else.

 

[McLovin]

I hate to say it but I used a lot of Topps Tiles adhesive (Not on list) last year as they pass a lot of work my way. Its more Tile master this year.

I'm assuming that's made by BAL or Palace or something because they don't make Adhesives...?

I have no Idea who makes it. Maybe someone on here will know. Its not as smooth and creamy as Bal.

Im sure I heard once it was Dunlop but not sure.
