Title: resiblock trade
Post by: APWS on May 24, 2011, 08:08:38 pm

anyone used or got any views on resiblock trade? a local builders merchant gave me a sample to try today, they are selling it for £64 + vat, 20 quid cheaper than off resiblocks web site,

I never use resiblock as it cannot be retrieved easily if it rains on the job and to overcoat it you have to abraid the surface, I bought a wire brush board for my scrubber for this. The whole sealant thing is a pain but acrylic is more user friendly. The two cannot be used as an overcoat for the other either - they look fine but go grey with time as they delaminate.

if you buy direct from pics you can negotiate depending on how much you want. for a single 25l keg you are looking at around £70. not used resiblock trade but i believe it is a water soluble product.
