Our take on the Merkrete 3334 720 Rapid Set Premium Grade Gray 50 lb Bag
Merkrete 3334 720 Rapid Set is a polymer-modified Portland cement medium bed mortar in a 50 lb bag. It sets fast and holds thick beds, so it suits large-format tile, gauged porcelain panels and stone of uneven thickness. The medium bed body lets you build up under a tile instead of fighting lippage with spacers, and it is rated for interior and exterior work and freeze-thaw cycles. Compared with a standard thin-set, it costs more per bag but covers more of the jobs that thin-set handles poorly.
- Medium bed body supports thick mortar beds for heavy tile
- Rapid set lets grouting and traffic follow quickly
- Polymer-modified for bond without a separate additive
- Handles irregular-thickness stone and lippage
- Rated for interior and exterior use and freeze-thaw stable

Questions and answers
- What is a medium bed mortar used for?
- It is used to set tile and stone in beds thicker than thin-set allows, mainly large-format tile, gauged porcelain panels and stone of uneven thickness. The thicker bed lets you level lippage without hollow spots under the tile.
- How fast does it set?
- It is a rapid-set mortar, so it cures much faster than standard thin-set. Mix only what you can place before it stiffens, and expect grouting or light traffic sooner than with a regular mortar.
- Can it be used outdoors?
- Yes. It is rated for interior and exterior use and is freeze-thaw stable, so it suits patios, porches and other exposed installations when installed per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Does it need a latex additive?
- No. It is polymer-modified, so it is mixed with water alone. Adding a liquid additive is not required and can change the setting behavior.
- Can it be used over existing tile or waterproofing membranes?
- It bonds to common substrates and membranes when they are prepared and primed as the manufacturer specifies. Check the substrate and membrane maker's approval before setting over them.
- How much coverage does a 50 lb bag give?
- Coverage depends on trowel size and bed thickness. A medium bed laid thicker covers less area per bag than a thin-set, so plan on more bags for large-format tile and deep beds.
