Bond it - Adhesives and grouts

[Fekin]

Anyone ever used "Bond it" adhesives and grouts before ?

Im sure the rest of you on here within the Preston and surrounding areas will most probably have recieved the same trade prices from a company called Magnet Trade through the post.

Now prices seem to be quite low...

20kg Rapid set grey £4.99

20kg Rapid set flexi white £12.99

10kg wide joint grout £6.99

5 ltr Primer and flexi admix £5.99

All seems very low in cost, and as to how well it works I don't know, just wondered if anyone on here has ever used the stuff ?

Sound like palace prices to me probably Bostic made then.

They actually make the gear with the looks of it.

the tubbed gear is crap. they sell it in the local plumbers merchants. once used it in a bathroom and went to pull pegs out next day and all tiles popped off. seemed like no moisture in the gear

Last time I had a supply of their pva it was runny and had no body to it

Yea, looks so Adam. Here they are Bond IT .

I don´t want to judge the products. The rapid flex has C2F, sounds okay to me. But after all it is your decision, see my statement below...Martin

They are owned by stick it services ltd but registered by first property midlands

Sorry got the stoke bit wrong but they are bucketing generic for their own use lots of products but only 8 for tiles makes me think they aint manufacturing but as i said probably bostic they are behind an awful lot of the generic stuff out there. Stone fix is one of them (yes i did say different a while back)

I got the same letter this morning Feks, Magnet Trade, there's one just down the road from me, It was Magnet kitchens (the big kitchen chain) before, they've shut up shop to the general public and are just supplying kitchens and addys etc to the trade now. Must not have been doing so well.

Havent tried any of the Bond It stuff but with the letter was a price list and an trade account application for, they say in the letter that there having like and open week for people to pop in and get some freebies so if i get change i'll call it and pick up some stuff and give it a try for nowt.

That's why I asked if anyone had ever used it.... and if so wether it was ok.
With nobody so far saying they have used the stuff I wouldn't put my faith in it and try it, though if Oli tries ot out atleast we'll have one form of feedback

I've use Bond-it's Xtreme Silicon and it is very good gear.
