    Platinum 254

    This is the best stuff around ! It is true, it sticks to your tools, your hands, your clothes. But, if you want your tile to be permanently attached, this is what you want to purchase.

    Apply Laticrete 254 to 24"x24 marble tile

    When installing 24"x24" large marble tile with mesh and sprayed sand on the back, we need a strong thin set to hold the heavy marble in level. Laticrete 254 served the purpose. The pot life is a little short - 2hrs, but the holding power is much better.

    Never fails

    I am a mosaic artist working mainly in site specific installations, and primarily with stained glass in place of tile. Because sheet glass is so non-porous, other brands of thinset are not reliable; my pieces tend to fall off. When I use 254 Platinum and 254 Platinum Plus, I can adhere to fiberglass mesh and move the mosaic around easily without losing any pieces. The mortar is strong enough to hold my work securely in exterior locations and has enough flex to withstand freeze-thaw cycles in any climate. I rely on this product and I get very frustrated every time a distributor stops carrying it. Thank you to Stone Tooling for keeping it in stock; it's a life saver!
