A:Â Yes. But make sure you use the correct trowel. A "V" notched trowel with 1/4 x 3/16 should work nicely.

Applied this product to Master shower and went on vacation. It has yet to dry and some of the tiles even moved and became hollow. Well, redoing this again 🙄

It doesn't dry
This stuff is crap. I let it sit for 3 days and it still hasn't set. I used a bag for half the floor and that area it solid. They need to take it off the market.

Cement Hardie-Backer and porcelain
We used this product on cement board screwed to wood sub-floor. When laying porcelain tile with the pre-mixed thin set mortar a few of the tiles didn’t stick. However, the mortar did adhere to the Hardie cement board just fine as noted when reapplying the loose tiles. Most importantly, you have the have a well ventilated room and give the mortar the suggested 72 hours and you should be fine.

As many of the other reviews say, it won't dry
After waiting 48 hours, instructions say 24-72 hours, I noticed that some of the tiles were very wobbly. Product as wet as the day of installation. Had to take them out. I got lucky that only about 5% of the floor was affected, and I'm thinking about re-doing these tiles with a real product. I used tiles that were 8.5 inches in diameter on concrete flooring. I noticed most people with problems use a plastic membrane.

Don't buy product
Product does not dry after sitting for more than 7 days. I wasted more than $800 in material and now all had to be removed and thrown in the trash. Avoid the product,waste of time and money spend, it does not work.

Doesn't dry
We used this under 12 x 24 inch floor tiles. A month later, we had to pull up the tiles because they were moving. The this thin set was as wet as the day it was installed. Terrible. Waste of time and money. We will avoid all premixed from now on.
