Questions & Answers
Can I use this particular mortar for stone veneer on hardibacker board? Does it also make for a ...
Asked by Higgins October 4, 2017I used VersaBond Gray Mortar for a stone veneer project on an outside wall. I had no problems adhering a scratch surface first to a screened-over-stucco wall and then using the mortar to adhere the stone veneer.
Can versa bond be used to tile the walls and floor of a shower surround?
Asked by BobKat1203 September 29, 2017Yes you can use it for both floor and walls.
can i use this to level my concrete subfloor before laying laminate flooring
Asked by hoyt January 29, 2018You can. If you’re looking for something that self levels this isn’t it. Otherwise it works great.
Can you use on a painted wall with small tiles for backsplash?
Asked by Shaggy18 September 8, 2019You can, but what I've done on a regular basis is to use Acrylpro tile adhesive. Won't work up in between joints and comes right out of the tub.
How many square feet of tile can i lay with one 50 lb. bag
Asked by Pb December 17, 2019Looking to buy
Can this be used for 24" by 12" large tiles on the walls? Will it hold the tiles in the long run?
Asked by Adi February 5, 2019Well my tile is 6x24 glazed porcelain
Does this have a sanded consistency like sanded grout?
Asked by MikeM February 23, 2019Yes it does.
Can I use on glass and stone backsplash?
Asked by Robert January 2, 2018I PERSONALLY USED IT FOR PORCELAIN GLASS TILE FOR FLOOR IT BONDS GREAT.
is this suitable for 12x12 porcelain tile laid directly on a concrete slab
Asked by mvno July 2, 2018The answer is YES, this product may be used to apply 12" x 12" tile directly to concrete. Just make sure the concrete is clean from dust, grease, and any other contaminants. For that size of tile use a 1/4" x 1/4" notched trowel and don't forget to use chemical resistance gloves.
What is the water to powder ratio for mixing smaller amounts at a time, for small jobs?
Asked by kc September 9, 20133.84 liquid oz of water per pound of powder.
