Thank you, I would really like to try and express how grateful I am to everyone involved in putting this video(s) out for free on YouTube. Very helpful, very informative, explains it great. I have a little bit of knowledge as a glorified labor for general contractors. So I'm basically a novice. I was able to understand and follow. Thank you again, information has been fantastic. This is the first place I go to check if I have a question about something to do with home repair or alteration.

Good video question is do you rinse your bucket out or clean it before mixing another batch of thin-set thank you for your reply

Can thinset be used on a ceramic fireplace hearth?

[frankjuarez]

Density of the mortar is always the question. Would like to have seen you put the trowel in the mix so I can see how thick the mortar is when it is ready.

I am sure you are a very capable guy, with great skill and you give a lot of good info on your channel, I have seen many of them over time. You did however really miss the mark on this one.

[rafars]

This guy is simply the best explaining things, and does the best job always. No one comes close.

How do you store mixed tile cement overnight? In case you mixed too much and you want to use next day.

So I’m working on tiling my laundry room. The subfloor is plywood. The installation instructions for the hardie backer board says I was supposed to use a polymer additive to mix the mortar for the supporting bed of the Hardie Backer board and I accidentally used unmodified (just mixed it with water) how big of a problem will this present in the future? The space I’m working on is 6’x6’.

Hi there, I mixed my thinset the same way you described here, but after 48 hours some of the tiles were coming off and the thinset was still a bit moist. Do you think I should have given it more time to cure considering it was in the basement room where the temperatures are around 67 degrees? Thanks!
