Becky...thinset

19 years ago

Hey Becky. You asked about thinset in another thread. Thinset is a powder that comes in a VERY heavy bag, like portland cement. I looked for the weight on the bag but couldn't find it. It's AT LEAST 50 pounds, maybe more. I bought some more tonight and would take a pic, but it's still out in the car. It is in the tile section at HD here, where the grout and tiling tools are located. It is made for sticking floor tiles down. It was around $15 for however much is in that bag, comes in mainly white and gray, maybe others but I was looking for white. Hope this helps.

well, that's a good deal, cuz we shop at HD a lot and will be sure to get a bag of it.
for all the times that I've read about it, I never did check it out, till now, when I do believe that I need a new beginning in the method.
thankyou very much

I just called HD and they have the 50# bag..it's less than $6..but he says there's about 4 different kinds. he said the only difference is the strength..like whether it's going to be walked on or hanging or whatever..

so, question...do you use the cheaper kind, since it's not going to be walked on? I'm guessing so..didn't even ask him about the different colors.
he has a gallon of it, premixed for $18 but no way..I'll go ahead and mix small amounts myself...
I'm headed out in a few minutes..I think I'll also get a small rubbermaid container, to contain it..I'm not keeping it in the dusty old bag they come in..lol
I've done that with cement..and lost the whole bag, to moisture.

I got VersaBond Fortified Thinset Mortar, if that helps. I was just after white thinset, and when I told them what I was doing with it, that's what they recommended.
