It's very well known in Ireland and has been for some years. Not too sure if that's due to availability limitations of other brands though. However I don't think I've read anything bad about it myself and have read a fair few posts on here about people using it.

Might be worth trying out and let us all know your thoughts for future reference?

I know they are trying to get a stronger foothold in the english market Gary, that should give you some leveredge when negotiating the price mate. I take it you are talking pallets anyway, as above Davy G has a contact in the company.

Been useing larsen rapid set single part flexible just got threw 2 pallets of it. great on the floors goes off very guick open time is the norm but pot life isn't very good, but then you have to work quicker:smilewinkgrin: Its got great sucktion on porcelain tiles. it must have loads of polymers in it as it smells loads. But it dont like going on walls :mad2: Load up your trowel sticks to it great. spread on masonry walls and it just rolls down the wall. dont matter how wet or dry you mix it gravity just takes over:mad2: But then stick your tile on it and try getting it back off again, like i said great suction!
I would use it for floors but not for walls imo !!
