Gel Mastic Adhesive (and Dry Set Mortar) is a new revolutionary gelled, dual purpose, easy-to-use, water based product with many advantages over the current mastics on the market.

The major advantage of this product is the reduction in time and labor costs, commonly more than 50% savings. The ease of application when compared to conventional mastics is phenomenal. Weighing approximately 8.4 pounds per gallon vs. 12 to 15 pounds per gallon for other products, the Gel Mastic Adhesive (and Dry Set Mortar) is creamier and near half the weight, making it easier to apply and carry.

Most conventional mastics have fifty to seventy percent "fillers" which are necessary to get the body needed to make the tiles stay in place when applied. Having no "fillers" the Gel Mastic Adhesive (and Dry Set Mortar) requires less application effort compared with other bucket mastics. It is much like spreading whipped cream. The unique water-based gel in the Gel Mastic Adhesive (and Dry Set Mortar) holds moisture well, insuring a longer open time. Open times are often over two hours even in areas with low humidity. This may allow as many as ten bathtub surrounds in apartment projects to be troweled with Gel Mastic Adhesive (and Dry Set Mortar) before any tile is applied to the walls. The result is a huge time and cost savings. The tight no-slip adhesion of the tile allows tile to be applied to walls from the top level line down, if desired, resulting in a straight top line. To avoid slipping, trowel Gel Mastic firmly to wall and spead uniformly.
