Hello,
Did any one ever tried BASF CX-1000 hybrid premium wood flooring adhesive? and if yes how it's comparatively to Bostik's Best?

I have used it a couple times and loved it. I can't get it anymore because the distributor went out of business

Anything that BASF manufactures should of excellent quality. It is a German equivalent of 3M here and they do top notch chemical products for almost all industries around the world.

thank you, good to know.
My local distributor advertised it as excellent product (i do trust him but not 100% cause his opinion is subjective, tries to make sale with higher profit), he said it's even better then Bostik because it's a fourth generation of flooring adhesive, Bostik's Best is a second, has better characteristics and it's little bit cheaper.
BASF is one of the leaders in chemical industry and companies like Bostik purchase chemical components for their products from companies like BASF so it make sense for BASF to produce end product from their one components (even better then competitors) with cheaper price.

I used to have this mental thing that it had to be "Best". IMO it's a pain in the rear to work with. Been using Bostik EFA for quite some time now, it's a pleasure, holds a ridge better, easier clean up, better initial grab, etc. etc. I believe it's an all around better adhesive, (it's their old TKO).

You still have to test for moisture with it as most adhesives recommend. The thing I like is it's one of those new hybrids that are water proof after initial set. And it does not etch the finish, comes off with a dry towel.

I miss it :cry:

Oh had the pdf in my favorites Sold here under the Chemrex name. Chemrex is always good stuff.:
