because it is really really soft stuff, when you bed the tile into the adhesive is squirts out through the grout lines like whipped cream. Because it is soft, it increases the coverage to pretty much 100% if trowelled right.

This is the trowel I am talking about.

Had to remove that picture of the trowel as it has a brand logo on it. I'll try and find an original trowel but for future reference they're made by Benson Industried Ltd and NETT stock their trowels.

Also check out Ardex 7001, does the same thing only single part.

This works i the same way as BAL Fastflex 2 part?

I can concurr with Gaz, Gracies Dad. I used Fastflex on two small bathroom floors. Messy stuff though, you need to clean as you go along, the stuff gets every where! I discovered after I did my jobs that my 6mm trowel was actually too big. BAL make a trowel specifically for this with special extended ribs at the end to provide a 4mm solid bed fixing.

Next time I (HAVE TO) use fastflex I will use a 4.5mm trowel!

Also check out Ardex 7001, does the same thing only single part.

Good luck.

Aredx 7001 single part works the same way as BAL Fastflex 2 part?

Not sure what you are asking Holohana mate.

Does Ardex 7001 work in the same way as the Fastflex and latex adative?

i:e can you use the Ardex 7001 product on a brand new property and brand new floorboard floor with virtually no flex in it?

Will save £000's against two part!

The Ardex spec suggests so but will also ring their tech help line tomorrow!

Brilliant, how much is a 20kg bag grumps? Have to try and find a local supplier.

CTD sell 7001......

 

[Holohana]

ah do they, use CTD a lot but they didnt offer a price for Ardex only BAL!!!

Cheers Dave, any idea how much?

I asked about a week back on the cost and it was about £27 i think...so a good price compared to fastflex or similar........
