CUSTOM SimpleSet Pre-Mixed Thin-Set Mortar is a gray, ready-to-use adhesive designed for interior wall and floor tile installations, particularly suited for DIYers handling small projects like bathroom mosaics, tub surrounds, or repairs. It bonds ceramic tiles up to 18x18 inches and works on surfaces such as concrete, drywall, backerboard, and existing tile, making it a convenient no-mix alternative to powder mortars.
Standout features include its easy-spreading consistency, quick hardening, and Moldgard technology for mold resistance in wet areas. Reviews highlight its performance in real-world use: users praise the no-mess application, strong adhesion without crumbling, and simplicity for tasks like filling stone cracks or laying bathroom tiles. It performs best on smaller tiles up to 8x8 inches, with longer dry times for larger ones.
The compact 1-quart tub has a liquid form for straightforward use, though some note the lid requires tight sealing to prevent drying between uses. Build quality supports interior applications on compatible materials like porcelain, marble, and granite.
Drawbacks include unsuitability for shower floors or areas with constant water exposure, and occasional shipping issues with loose lids causing leaks. Despite this, it exceeds ANSI A136.1 Type I standards.
Overall, this mortar earns its solid reputation for small-scale tiling needs, offering hassle-free results for homeowners avoiding mixing hassles. Recommended for occasional users seeking reliability without complexity.
