DISASTER
After everything dried my shower looked like it was done by a 5 yr old!! Seversl tiles throughout the shower were sunk in. Now everything needs to be removed and retiled at $70 a box for tile. Tiles taken off had nothing on the back ever though each one was butter!!!. DO NOT USE THIS.

    Good solid strength
    Used this for installing stone directly on cement board.No scratch coat nor nothing.It held very well easy mixing and the whole install went very smooth. I would definitely use this again.

      German Smeared Fireplace
      We used this to do a German Smear on our fireplace. We couldn’t be more happy with the results!! We used less than half the bag for this project.

        worked as intended
        It dried a little fast (inexperined with tile) but overall had a nice result. I used over ditra and had zero problems.

          Easy to mix, open time was long enough for difficult pebble tile and also worked well for attaching the cement boards to the floor boards (together with specialized fasteners). Tough and strong product, will buy again for next tile project.

          The Versaboard was very easy to install. My installer recommended this type of board specifically. I did have a couple of sheets in my garage. This board was used and worked out very well. I would recommend this board to anyone who wants to remove tile installed. The quality of the nursing board was extremely professional and easy to install. The rest of the board doesn't meet my expectations because it was affordable and consumer-friendly.

          I just remodeled a bathroom with a lot of tile. I'm no expert but VersaBond worked great for me. I tiled the floor, walls and the shower ceiling and this product came through without any problems.

          Excellent adhesion on many different surfaces. Stays workable for several hours after mixing, yet hardens up nicely overnight. I'm using it for large-format floor and wall tiles, using a 1/4-inch notched trowel. Nice grip -- tiles stick to shower ceiling without support, but they will need to be supported for a few minutes on walls or they will slide down (tile spacers work great for this).

          Great product, been using it for years, in my opinion it's the best on the market it bonds to anything. I always use it for tiling floors and sometimes I use it on walls when I used large wall tiles.

          Can't beat it at this price!
          Actual journeyman tile and stone installer here... This mud meets the same ANSI standards as mapei, Ardex, laticrete, etc. If installed properly, over suitable substrates, you won't have any issues with tile popping. As a bonus, it mixes up nice and consistent and spreads easily. Anybody who only gives it one star is either heavily biased toward another brand, or simply has no idea what they're doing. And at $10.99/bag at the Windsor stores, it's WAY better value... Half the price of other brands at the wholesaler!! Verabond is a no-brainer.

            Did not adhere to tile.
            Did not adhere to porcelain plank tiles. Bought two bags of this after running out of another product. Two days after laying tile, returned to find tiles were loose and could be pulled up with one finger. Mortar stuck to cement slab, so now having to scrape this mortar off and will redo with the brand from the other store. Sickening feeling after so much time and work to see it wasted due to a failed product.
