The drying time is extremely too long. It takes a couple of weeks to dry installing floor porcelain tiles.

Used it reset kitchen tiles, They were completely loose within a week now I am having to re do them. Save your money and time, mix your own.

I'm upset that I didn't use this before!
I'll never use thinset that I have to mix again. Perhaps, if I were a contractor doing a huge installation and mixing 20 pound bags at a time for a crew, I would feel differently. This product went on way more easily than ready mix thinset and I didn't have to stop to mix more before it set-up. There was much less to clean when I was done. The second day of tiling, I didn't wet the tiles, as I do with thinset because it isn't needed. They setup much better and it saved me time.

Works well, but very pricey
I bought three buckets of the pre-mix for the convenience. I don't know if people with negative reviews are laying the tile on improper substrates, but 12 hrs later and it is walkable. In a day or so I will grout but it worked as expected on hardie board.

Just an expensive bucket
Do not buy this. I used it for my shower, and very much regret it. Under my 6" wide threshold it was still wet 19 months later! Had to re-do. I realize (too late) that they have to do this to keep it wet in the bucket. Only use non-pre-mix powder.

Excellent product, easy to work with, allows enough working time. I really enjoyed working with this product and its setup in about a day or so. Clean up was easy and everything worked as expected.

Never dried! Nightmare!
I bought this thinset for my 12x12 ceramic floor tiles, applied as instructed. On the second day I noticed the tiles would still flex and lifting them, I found the mortar was still wet. I placed a fan and dehumidifier on the hallway where the tiles were set. They were placed on wonderboard which sat on wood subfloor. After a full week, the premix did not set, was still as wet as the day I put it down! I had to strip it all off and go with normal mortar. This was a waste of two weekends and over 100 dollars! I'll be calling the manufacturer to try and get a refund. I'm never buying this junk again!
Note that in the photo we used the grey premix mortar and the when that ran out we switched to the white. Both did not cure at all!

It is nice that it is premixed but had to end up buying 3 buckets it doesn't go very far. It is only for small jobs in the gallon bucket.
