Our take on the Custom Building Products SimpleSet Quart Gray Pre-Mixed Thin-Set Mortar

SimpleSet is a ready-to-use thin-set mortar in a quart tub, so there is no mixing, no measuring and no bucket of powder to clean up. It bonds ceramic, porcelain, marble, granite and stone tile up to 8 x 8 inches, and it meets ANSI A136.1 Type I, the standard for organic adhesive. It is meant for interior wall and floor work, and it is the practical pick for small jobs, backsplashes and repairs where a full bag of dry thin-set is overkill. The trade-off is that it cures by drying rather than by chemical hydration, so it stays softer under large tile and needs longer before grouting than a bagged mortar.

About the Custom Building Products SimpleSet Quart Gray Pre-Mixed Thin-Set Mortar

SimpleSet is a pre-mixed thin-set mortar that needs no mixing and makes little mess. It spreads quickly and easily, and it is an alternative to traditional thin-set mortars. This quart is gray.

Questions and answers

Can I use SimpleSet in a shower or outdoors?
No. It is made for interior wall and floor installations in dry areas. Use a cement-based thin-set for showers, pools and exterior work.
What tile sizes does it hold?
It is recommended for tile up to 8 x 8 inches. Tile with one side up to 15 inches can be used, but drying time increases significantly.
Do I need to mix it?
No. It comes pre-mixed and ready to spread. Stir only if the tub has sat a long time and the material looks separated.
Should I use gray or white?
Use white SimpleSet for light-colored stone and tile so the mortar does not show through. Gray suits darker tile and most porcelain.
How long before I can grout?
Wait until the mortar has fully dried and the tile is firm. Expect longer waits than with bagged thin-set, and more time with larger tile.
