[lion]

you'd be better off using a decent make, bal, mapei etc and the same make adhesive too, and if you're having a shower in the bathroom i would tank the wet areas, you can get a kit for around £60

Never used it myself. Is it an SBR based product ?

Seems expensive for such a small amount ???
