Thanks for your replies all.
The only failure i have had was using Topp Fix single part rapid which didnt go off, having used it many a time i took it back to my local store, the whole batch was tested and the same problem was found! Palace washed there hands of it and denied anything was wrong1 There MD, Charles Clapham actually told his sales rep to lie to Topps so that he didnt lose his contract with them and then sacked his sales rep when he refused to do this!!! The man is ruthless and i just wanted a general view!

And do you have proof of this statement ?

 

[Tricks13]

Yes, the sales rep had become a very good friend of mine!

Well my good friend believes in ghosts but it dont make it true !

I use it for a couple of reasons one being i dont do the floor prep the other is i have never 100% trusted a single part flexi on timber.

why not just use rapid set then and addetive, it would be better imo, i was under the impression u should never modify an all ready modified addy , but hey if it works for you so be it

I dont do that because my boss doesnt buy rapid set,if i modified rapid set i would still only be getting the same .Am not sure where your coming from?if the bag says rapid flexi then its not modified ,as its made for what it says on the bag,but it is totally down to trust on my part.

So you got your sales rep friend sacked then?

Funny old stuff this adhesive lark. Many dry too quick, many dont dry for days and some just dont stick at all. Think we've seen them all by now. All manufactures IMHO have had some problems. Few free bags or tubs usually does the job and lots of sorry's, unless its a massive job.

But going back to Palace, i have dealt with them for 15 years plus and Mr Clapham has never been involved in selling me adhesive.

Will mention this next time i meet their other MD and get his comments, which i wont post but will PM Dan with.

But dont believe what most reps say, is it sour grapes? its tough out their selling adhesive and Topps wouldn't take it laying down that there was a problem with their sticky.

I never had a problem with their adhesive so find no need to criticize the product...
