    What’s everyone using?
    Been using AFT fast grip for about a year as it’s a good price but not ideal for fitting on straight away.
    Thinking of trying flexy fix.

    I use flexy fix where needed. On wood trims mostly. Use gripfil if coming back the next day and in no rush.

    Try to use grip fill or pink grip if going back next day. Prefer flexy fix over anything although it’s expensive!

    Flexyfix all the way ! Gripfill tends to go brittle over time imo

    I rate Flexi. Fast and strong, so not expensive when your not having to wait around.
    The only time I ever had it fail was over powerfloat, and it needed keying up.

    £6.25+ per tube from wholesalers. Good or bad?

    Only problem I have with flexi is if I dont use the whole tube it dries out pretty quick.

    REMINDER

    Wholesale prices should only be discussed in the trade section !!!

    As it’s only a tube of glue I think we can leave this thread here

    This forum is open for the public to read and I’m sure you don’t want your customers reading how much you pay for materials ;)
