How much of it is hype?

[DHTiling]

as Ajax, if for instance a primer is there to act as a barrier between a gypsum and cement reaction, surely it should do that regardless of what colour the bag is!. I've no problem at all cross branding products, ie, webers pr360 with tilemaster setaflex. Most primers give variable dilution rates so it's not an exact science imo

Doug... how you finding the tile master gear.. ?

As per most of the replies, keep the products you use, primer, adhesive etc to 1 manufacturer, then there will be no compatability issues, and the manufacturers do push for 'systems', and for good reason.

I really like it Dave

As most for me, I always use the same primer as the adhesive, and I love Tile Master Levelflex compound.

that's the gear you where telling me about eh? Have you used Webber slc Phil?

Everything's hunky dory till there's a problem. In my experience one should ideally stick to same product range from start to finish. If you ever have a problem there is a reference back.i know it does not always happen in reality when we don't have the materials available .
but if you have a problem of a failure you don't stand a chance if you have mixed products from different manufacturers

So phil are you using the tile master adhesives as well.
i have heard loads of good reports about the levelling compound which I have used and rate it good but I have heard less about their adhesives although there have also been positive reports..
gary the tiler put me on to tile master 6 months ago and I have to say for what I want, it is the best in the market for the price by a long stretch.
we use the setaflex and it is ideal for us and I can go in to to specifics for stone fixers if it is of interest.
I have a very good feeling about this company and have spoken at length with them .i personally think they are at a point where they could become a bigger player in next few years and this will be down to their endeavours and the tilers who endorse their products.
I don't know how all this works and I don't want to be seen as someone who is seen as a paid endorser because I am not .I once supported another small adhesive company on here just because i wanted to tell others about what i tnought was a good deal and got banned .this was a misunderstanding and has been sorted now .

Yes, best i have used yet. Very runny, allows 5.25L of water so in self levelling terms, the "self" really applies!!
