Topps Tiles Flexi rapid green bag, waste of money!!!!!

[Jeff the tiler]

Just done 34 metres of floor 60 x 30 porcelain using topps rapid flexi [green bag]. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!!!!

THIS PRODUCT DOES DRY IN THE TIME IT SAYS under normal conditions.

Product supplied by builder. STILL GREEN AFTER 48 HOURS!!!!

I am here to be proven wrong but this is the second time i have used this adhesive and both times the same result. NO WAY is it RAPID set !!!!! TOPPS should come back on to this site and tell us what is going on.

I am happy to buy the product prove them wrong and then get them to re-inburse me for the down time this causes.
:ban:

I always thought it was my imagination that the toppfix spf rapid white and grey set at different times. The grey sets really quick whilst the white is more like slow set. If I could get Weber at a good price I would definitely buy it. Anyone know where in Ruislip I can buy Weber adhesive at a good price? The nearest CTD is 15 miles away. I would buy a pallet, but not with the weather turning for the worst!

I have a 50 mile round trip to get my weber addy, well worth it, just buy 40 bags at a time.

does anyone know who makes adhesives for topps tiles.
i have to say that the green bag rapid ,at such a bargain cost of £40.00 should be forgiven for minor failures like not setting in a rapid mode like advertised!!!!

I think its Palace rubbish.

I use mapei, and weber all the time, but in the few times I have used topps spf white or grey, I never had a problem with it, and at most paid £17 for the white, so I cant knock it.

 

[afright]

Yes I have used it but did find it a bit sandy thats about what I paid for a bag,just that I had a failure once with Palace and I think they bag it for Topps ,if I had to choose between Mapei and Weber its Weber that comes out on top.

I normally use Mapei but Weber is a good product at a great price. I'd have thought CTD would deliver a full pallet for you. Even if they charged you £12 for delivery thats still only 30p a bag extra and still much cheaper than Toppfix muck. And it saves you the bother of going for it.
