I picked this up in the store to patch a 3ft by 3ft area of my bathroom floor (the ceramic tile had been coming up). It was my first tiling job; this thin-set mixed great and was easy to apply. The tiles set in about an hour but I left them alone for the recommended 24 hours before grouting. Turned out great. My only complaint would be that I wished this came in a smaller bag.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I had the same problem where the thinset mortar did not stick to the tile. I thought the problem was the mortar--it turned out that I had used a bag of mortar in my garage that I had bought a year before. Unfortunately, the cement in the mortar absorbed water through the paper bag and rendered the mortar useless. There should be a warning on these bags that they should be used at one time and not kept over the winter. BTW, a new bag of this Versabond works great.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Small amounts are best mixed with a wire potato masher, this makes the job a little easier and smoother. It's not roket technology but it works. Oh! wash off the masher for reuse while the morter is slaking.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am just doing a bathroom counter top so I am mixing small amounts as needed. It is hard to mix smooth by hand, but I'm sure mixing a larger amount in a bucket with the right tool would get rid of that problem. I just set the tiles last night and the mortar is almost dry (has been less than 12 hours) and tiles seem to be very well bonded. I plan on grouting later this afternoon.
I'm sure the person who left the one star review saying the product did not bond forgot to wipe the back of the tile off before using it. NO mortar will stick to tiles that are not clean. ALWAYS make sure your tiles are free from dust and dirt by wiping them off with a damp sponge. Then they stick just fine :)

I used this product on 12" tiles. It bonded well to cement board. It was a bit difficult to mix but bonded very well and was easy to spread and clean up. Great value.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am using this for attaching 20x20 porcelain tiles to a concrete floor. WOW does this stuff stick! Occasionally, i didn't put enough mortar down, and the tile was a bit low. Prying it up is insanely difficult because of the surface tension of this product. That's a GOOD thing! Mixing it is smooth as silk. Highly recommended.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is one of the best overall mortars you can use (price including). Its modified with polymer meaning its best suited for walls or ceilings and a bit of a waiste on floors especially where thers cement board down (so it the floor and tiles shouldnt be moving much at all there for the polymer allowing for some "give" as to not brake is unecessary). Use the Gray if your grout will be of a darker color and the white for lighter color grouts.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Terrific Bonding
,PostedOctober 9, 2009
I used this product to lay my 18X18 kitchen tiles and it worked beautifully. Sets up quickly so don't spread out too much product.
I have been laying tiles for years and this is the product for floor tiles!

Wow, What a nightmare
,PostedApril 13, 2009
Mixed and applied as directed and four days later tiles are lifting off the walls. I removed 60% of the tiles and not one speck of the product is on the tile itself. The tile back has luggs and the lug grid is in the dried product on the wall however did not stick to tiles.
No, I do not recommend this product.
