What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this product for exceptional bonding on challenging surfaces like existing tile, linoleum, and concrete without requiring removal. Most report successful tile-over-tile installations in kitchens and bathrooms, with the bond becoming nearly impossible to scrape after two days. Many appreciate its easy application via brush, roller, or sprayer, quick drying, and water-based cleanup. Reviewers confirm long-term durability in high-moisture areas like showers, with installations remaining water-tight over a year later.

Leaking container

Would Not Recommend

I would have given this product a 5 star review on the 1/4 gal I used to prime a floor for tiling, if the bottom of the container hadn't split open covering parts of my indoor patio, that was partially covered with a canvass drop cloth, in gray primer. I just ran to get a plastic garbage bag to throw the rest into and trashed it in a dumpster with out taking a photo. Just wondering if there were more of these defective containers out there.

Amazing bond

Would Recommend

This product will bond to just about anything. I put it on top of existing tile and after about 30 minutes I couldn't even scrape it off. It is gritty so it provides a good surface for thin set. I wish they made this product without sand in it because the bonding is amazing. It cleans up easily with water.

great stuff

Would Recommend

Great for installing New Tiles over existing old tile without removing old tile. Or having to sand old tile first.

Eco Prime

Would Recommend

This product works well. I install micro finish on walls and floors. I put it through the test with a sample board I used which was a 24x24 piece of tile and it passed the test for up to 3 months. I used it on one of my jobs and it works awesome. In order for this to work there is a curing stage, if applied and the same day you scrape it, it will come off. Once you apply it and you give it 2 days it will have an excellent bond.

Linoleum to Large Format Luxury Vinyl Tile

Would Recommend

We recently went from 20 year old linoleum to large format LVT (18x36) on around 600 sqft of concrete slab. The slab did not meet the tile specifications for flatness. We stripped the linoleum using a electric floor stripper. This left glue residue and a shiny surface. After a lot of research we chose the Mapei ECO Prime primer prior to using the Mapei Self Leveler Plus. This product provides great adhesion and fine grit for the self leveling material. The overall result was fantastic and the cl...

Works good over cutback and carpet adhesive!

Would Recommend

I had some old carpet and 9x9 vinyl tiles in my basement that I removed during demo and used this product to prep the concrete for Self Leveling Underlayment. It bonded really well to the old adhesives. You MUST scrape as much of the old adhesive first, down to a real thin residue (i.e: hands and knees, no trowel ridges left to the touch) and then I used TSP to wash the floors of any surface contaminants before i applied this. Apply Eco Prim with a 3/8 nap roller and you're good to go. Well ...
