Hello, I am having a tiling company install some granite 12 x 12 inch tile on concrete. The installers I notice are using a water base thinset, Now all the the tile they installed so far looks desperate, It looks saturated beside water, Is that regular? Did they use the wrong thinset? How long will it take to dry? I don't know if they know what they're doing, Will the tile look close to it did when I bought it. Please Help!!!! Thanks!
Answers: There are specific thinsets for granite.
Find a bag of the product your tilers are useing and read the instructions .Those instructions will convey you if the product can be use with granite
Yes wet mixed thin set is fine, and what is used..There isnt a masonry base product that is not wet based...alot of glue are, the thin set is what is needed..however plentiful grades of thin set..some fibred near extra strenght etc...but they are all sea mixed too..here are a few links..
