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.

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.
