I like what you're doing but it kinda just sounds like Ultralite S1

Good to hear but unfortunately unlike Ultralite S1 its not a light weight product

Why is it only available in 5kg bags?

Hiya Sharon, this is to help with extended shelf life and suitable for small strip areas.

Some Mapelastic Smart in smaller kits would be great.

Thanks for the feedback, we'll pass that on to our Waterproofing Products Manager!

no matter what I do to prevent it, I always get lots of air bubbles when grouting mosaics. I've tried different consistencies, different grouts, different methods of applying, slow hand mixing, fast mechanical mixing...etc I still always seem to get these air pockets.
If this product guaruntees no air pockets I'm in.

Hiya, I have spoken with our Product Manager and he said that the product is an adhesive so will have little effect, however you may wish to try Kerapoxy Design products - http://bit.ly/2uC5Mep

Pot life of 8 hours.
Sets in 24 hours.
But can grout after 4 hours!

Got me puzzled.

Afternoon, at Mapei we formulate our product in this way – once in a thin bed and on a porous background or porous tile the material will grab enough to allow grouting with a Mapei grout.

I was thinking the same.

Hi (again ha ha) at Mapei we formulate our product in this way – once in a thin bed and on a porous background or porous tile the material will grab enough to allow grouting with a Mapei grout.

Do they mean adhesive will keep drying and won't be affected by grouting, but only on walls!

Good afternoon, yes requires further bond strength building on floor substrates before foot trafficking.

So mosaics on walls and can grout after 4 hours, even with Kerapoxy?

Hiya, yes that would be fine.
