Pretty sur this is how it went from my not so good memmory 🙂 Norcross and Ball were indeed in the same bed as each other at one time, when they split the stipulation was that norcross could not sell adhesive for a period of time (this was mainly over the Star adhesives). Around 2 1/2 years ago norcross were released so norcross started again selling adhesives this time under their own name, a good deal of this adhesive at that time originated in shorditch for those who know their companies.
An update on the norcros. I have used some of the white flexi rapid
and it was superb to work with. Easy to spread and set reasonably quickly. All the specifications on the bag seem to meet requirements
and the price is good at 20 euros per 20kg.
I've used the RSFW on a trav floor & it was fine.....it went off pretty damn quick, but it was warm at the time, & we needed it to anyway. Didn't really seem that much different from the others really. I'd use it again for sure.
