    Anybody still use Mapei??

    The company I work for sells Mapei LFT for thinset. I use the rapid setting mortar as well. As well as their crack isolation membrane. They work great. The beef I have with Mapei is their grout. The colors know how to be inconsistent and unfortunately the company I work for also sells the rapid...

    Looking for advice for tiling the ceiling.

    If you're able to get Mapei rapid setting large format tile thin set in your area then I would go for it. I use it when I need to grout the same day as installation on smaller jobs. It is the fastest drying thin set I know of. Just be sure you are confident in your lines because this stuff dries...

    Tile lippage - shall I stop the work?

    That looks exactly like the tile which was installed in my brother in laws house. There may be lippage because plank tiles like that are known to bow. I've had problems with these in the past and have told customers about this and they've ordered different tile as a result. An easy way to check...

    First question on here.......

    I'm personally responsible for 2 years, anything after that, the company pays is responsible. I always make sure that the floor is clean of all dust, particles, and debris before I install. If you aren't back buttering then it's important to push down and side to side to ensure the tile is...

    I already learned something new. I'm guessing it's less time consuming and more perfect.

    I usually build my own shower pan. Or work off of one a plumber has already built (not recommended). I've never even worked with a preformed tray. Which do you prefer?

    I do everything. Floors, stairs, showers, back splash. I've been doing a lot of floors because we had a big hurricane last year. Showers are my favorite, simply because I'm in one spot and I'm off my knees. How about you? Do you get a lot of new construction or a lot of remodels?

    Raimondi kompass scorer

    If it's as simple as it looks it could be useful for circular cuts around toilet flanges and floor outlets. Just weary about buying too many tools I might not ever use. I bought a sigma Jolly Edge and I'm worried I'll never use it.
