Worst adhesive ever.

[geordie2013]

Just started and finished kitchen splaahback today.
Customer supplied all materials from B and Q and the adhesive was UNIBOND tile on wall adhesive.
The stuff was awful was like cheese spread.
Only in the game six months so would be handy to know what other adhesives and grouts to steer clear off.

Cheers lads.

Letting the customer supply the tiles is usually OK, but NEVER EVER let them supply adhesive and grout, I cant begin to tell you about some of the s**t i've been expected to use in the past. I reckon the old "tile-n-grout" takes some beating LOL.

yeah i tried that unibond quite a few years back.
as it was late and B&Q was the only place open

its was so bad i took it back to b&q and got my money back.

Least you know never to use it again and anything else unibond its all rubbish

Do most guys use the same adhesive and grout all the time?

Once I start I reckon I'll just use BAL stuff...

Had a professional builder buy B&Q tile& grout gear a few weeks back. I laughed and left.
