Ratings & Reviews for MAPEI Rapid Setting (Pallet 36 qty) Gray Thinset Tile Mortar (50-lb)
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
This rapid-setting mortar is highly effective for tile installation, but requires careful handling due to its extremely fast drying time. Many reviewers praised its ability to allow for quick turnaround, with some able to complete the entire process in a single day. However, several noted the fast setting time can be challenging, requiring the user to work in small batches and move quickly. Some cautioned it may not be suitable for novice users or large-scale projects, as the rapid drying makes it difficult to adjust tiles once set. Overall, it seems a good choice for experienced installers working on smaller jobs where a fast turnaround is needed, but users should be prepared to work efficiently and in small quantities.

Ok product, poor installer

Fast drying. Sticks to anything.
Would RecommendI bought this to apply Hardie backer to OSB for my bathroom floor. I probably could have used any thinset but this stuff said it was good for floors without any additives and I thought it would be a good idea for some fast drying stuff since it was going on OSB. It dries fast. You probably have about a couple of hours to get your cement board layed down and fastened. I didn't get my tools cleaned in time and it dried on them. Keep a bucket of water handy. I might have gotten those boards screwed...
