Applications
Use for suitable glass, ceramic or porcelain tile on prepared concrete, masonry, cement block, mortar beds, cement terrazzo, existing tile/stone, approved gypsum wallboard, cement backer board or HYDRO BAN Board. Exterior-glue plywood is interior-only and needs the glass manufacturerās approval.
Plan Your Installation
- Check the glass backing: resin, mesh, paint or coating can change the required adhesive. Follow both the tile and mortar instructions.
- Do not use for green marble or moisture-sensitive tile/stone; the sheet directs those installations and specified sensitive backings to LATAPOXY 300.
- Use the specified thin bed for glass rather than building up excess mortar to correct the substrate.
- The manufacturer reports independent respirable-silica testing below its cited action level; still follow the SDS and required dust precautions.
Common Planning Questions
Can any glass backing be bonded with this mortar?
No. Verify backing compatibility with the glass manufacturer before selecting the adhesive.
