Do not use. Mix your own
Wanted premix so I could take my time tiling a tub/shower surround. What a waste of time. 3 days later doing the side wall these things start sliding and falling off the wall with only slight pressure. Had to demo all the tile, which was easy as only one broke coming off the backer board after 3 days, nowhere near dry. Time and money out of my Pocket. Mix your own, don’t waste your time with this garbage. Did that and it worked perfect. Perhaps this would be good to anchor your canoe?

    Is there a word for less than worthless?
    Like the sun over the British Empire, this adhesive never sets. Instead it remains soupy day after day. Only buy if you are a masochist who enjoys frustration & pointless delays.

      MOLD!
      Purchased 2 hours ago. Opened it to mold over the entire top layer and lid. Fuzzy smelly discolored hardened mold.

        Works Good
        Did my thin brick with this product, worked really good and love it because it eliminates putting up lath and a brown coat. Would use it again, only downfall is a little pricey but thats the world we live in now unfortunately.

          Perfect grip and hold even overhead
          Just finished a vintage bathroom remodeling project using the Omnigrip premixed tile adhesive. It worked perfectly for the tile flooring on uneven surface as well as in the shower for 3x6 subway tiles, even overhead. Will buy again for next tiling project

            Garbage. Never dries.
            How can this be sold? Two weeks after install. 8x8 tile. Never dries except the outer 1/4”. And even that’s gummy. “Premium” product so you can tear your floor out and by real thinset. After two weeks, here’s the result. Wet as the day it was laid.

              OmniGrip - Brick wall tiling
              Great product. I used it for a wall application where I was hanging 1/4" bricks on mesh sheets...with the weight of the bricks, it still didn't move! I just troweled as per the instructions using a 1/4 trowel/teeth so it wasn't a heavy application either. I would purchase again with confidence.

              Excellent product and very easy to use. Made my “first time” job fairly routine. Just what I wanted.

              Fireplace Re-do
              I’ve done many tile jobs in my home and previously have used a different cheaper generic thinset. I covered my fireplace brick with marble herringbone and the hearth with a running bond marble tile and built a new surround which extends up the wall. I skim coated the cleaned bricks with two coats of the cheaper thin set which i thinned slighty to make the surface smoother and more accepting to the marble. I used the OmniGrip to set the tiles. I bought it because HD was out of the other thinset. I’m glad they were. This stuff spreads like butter and you have loads of working time. I keep the tub top on losely as i work. Very happy with the product however I waited longer than 24 hrs to grout as the OmniGrip was not completely cured enough . I realize this product has some flexability but i could move a tile after 24 hrs. I troweled with the appropriate v-notch trowel. Still, i love this product and recommed it to any DIY’r who works slowely as I do.

                  This product was well worth the money & it did a great job of bonding our tile to the kitchen wall. It was easy to apply & any excess was easy to clean up. The instructions on the container are in very small print & was hard for me to read with my glasses. I would definitely buy again.

                    This Omni Grip Maximun Strength worked perfectly for both, horizontal and vertical laid tiles. I wanted to try tile on tile and this stuff does a great job. Since the original tile was set in a bit, I could actually put tile on tile without being noticeable. Needless to say, this cut my work and time probably by about 80%. It takes a while to dry, (days) so if you make a mistake or decide you don't like something, you can slide something under the tile to lift it and redo it. BUT there is no slipping or sliding. The tiles I used vertically, were quite heavy and Omni Grip held them in place from the very first second. It has been about 2 months now and everything is solid and I am very happy. I highly recommend this product!

                    I don't use in shower areas however it works great on kitchen backsplash installation. I can show up an start tiling immediately. It grabs quick ,often I don't even need spacers with mosaic and other small tiles. For sheet mosaic and 6x6 & smaller it works great .

                    Was easy to use no issues. Installed Glass Tile for back splash and worked fine. Does take a long time to completely dry and set the tile since I was using a solid material that didn't allow the adhesive to dry faster.

                    Probably wouldn't have had any issues if I didn't need to lay in on more than than 1/4 inch. The situation called for a 1/4 + to over come variations in the substrate and the end result was 12x24 tile that was installed with no grout lines.Tiles were Installed flat and by the time the omnigrip cured (24-72 hours) the tiles were no longer level . This would never have mattered if tile had grouting that would have hidden slight variations in the tiles. Unfortunately the look was to be seamless tile counter tops and now there are variations.
