User questions & answers

Question:	I need to replace a few cracked ceramic floor tiles in my house, will this be all i need
Answer:	I would advise against putting any coating that will not allow natural stone to breathe. Without air flow it will create effervescence which causes the stone to turn white with calcium build up.
Question:	Can this be used on shower floor
Answer:	I applied 2 coats.but roughed up the surface with green scrubbies under my Orek rotator floor cleaner pad. Seemed logical. Great job my handy man & myself.
Question:	does this work for glass wall tile
Answer:	pretty close to what it says 250 square feet rolled on two car garage need two boxes
Question:	Can this be used as a grout as well? Looking to do some outdoor mosaic work with tiles
Answer:	It says to put the clear on within 2 days of the base coat.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this in between a wall and a floor base to prevent the cold come inside the house from outside
Answer:	Not recommended
Question:	i have bathroom floor tiles that are butt joined together. can i use this red devil tile paste 0497 at the butt joints to waterproof the floor
Answer:	You can probably find that answer on YouTube it was about 85 degrees when I did mine can I can walk on it in the morning I applied it at about 7 at night
Question:	Does this work with quartz countertop
Answer:	I can’t say for sure but it’s intended for concrete so I wouldn’t try that.
Question:	Can I use this to adhere small mosaic tiles in the pool
Answer:	You’ll need some supplies for application and cleanup. I believe we used roller pans, though rollers are included. If you need more than one kit, take note that the colors are extremely inconsistent and you will likely be able to see exactly where each kit begins and ends-we were very disappointed with this product. I’d never recommend it. We’ve used similar type kits from other brands in the past and achieved great results. I’d personally recommend that.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are replacement clips available for this product
Answer:	Works well for granite and ceramic tile but i am not certain about glass tile i would suppose it works with glass as well
Question:	How do you break off the clips? Do I need tools
Answer:	Answered another question regarding this and ...funny you should ask! I have been using this to do mosaic/embelishments on my brick house. Have gone through several tubs of the stuff and really like the convenience of it. I've used it to adhere old silverplate, a horseshoe...large China pieces and recently, a decorative clay tile. My first was done last year and I carefully used mortar over the thin set, then sprayed with a mortar sealer. So far, it has lasted through one Ohio winter!
Question:	How thick can the tile be
Answer:	Can it? Yes. Should it? I'm going to say No. Here's why.....When the epoxy is wet, it can be slippery. To overcome that, you apply paint chip 'speckles' but it still can be pretty slick when wet. The other thing you can apply is silica (which I believe comes in the package). Silica will solve the problem, but then the surface is so rough that you won't be able to clean it as thoroughly as you would need to in a food service environment. Just my opinion. It's a wonderful product, but I don't believe it's the right one for your application.
Question:	What width are the wedges
Answer:	On the “Epoxy Coat” website. Only a couple colors available on amazon.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where made
Answer:	The maxium thickness could be (5/8")14mm, I did my install in 1/4" tile. that translates to ~6mm. I think that's pretty standard thickness.
Question:	Can i just get clips by their self

Question:	Can you just buy the wedges? Can't find a link
Answer:	Hi, this is an adhesive used to secure loose tiles. You should use a good quality caulk for this. I have posted a link of a product below that will work well for what you need. Thanks! https://www.amazon.com/Red-Devil-0775-Elastomeric-5-5-Ounce/dp/B003TEH2FU/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=red+devil+0775&qid=1572298242&sr=8-1

Warm-Tips

One tile is recommended to use 4 tile leveler spacers, If the tile is large or weight, it is recommended to use 6 spacers.

Note:

1. Before putting the tiles, remember to erase some of the cement on the edge of the tile. Do not fill up the tiles with cement. This will prevent the cement from being wrapped in the clamps after the clips are placed. The solidification will affect the removal of the clips.

2. Please adjust the pliers' screws to determine the pushing distance before you push the wedges. It ensures that each wedge is pushed at the same distance, then it will be the same level of tile.

3. Please ensure that the cement is fully solidified and remove disposable PVC spacers. Usually after 24 hours.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this to remove linoleum and adhesive
Answer:	I suggest you use very fine steel wool (0000) or a scotchbrite pad (gray) to buff down the gloss after your repair is hardened. It should roughen the surface just enough to matte it down.
Question:	Does it fit Bosch 11388 hammer
Answer:	The tube I had was of the consistency of thick paint; not quite as thick as caulk. When wiping off excess, you have to be careful not to dislodge the material in the crack; it comes out too easily! I found it best to let the compound set for a few hours and scrape the excess off the tiles using a single-edge razor blade (or box-cutter blade).
Question:	Can you use this to dig a thin trench into dirt with 22" deep? I wanted to install bamboo barrier
Answer:	yes
Question:	Can this be used to remove tile, or only the thinset once the tile is removed? Thanks
Answer:	You don't need special tools the break off the clips, you can kick it from the sides or knock it off from the sides with a hammer, make sure you don't hurt the tiles when you using a hammer.

Question:	bags schluter unmod thinset. 1st & 4th bag, 0 "open time". setting on 2nd mix per inst. smoked 2 pro drills. tile won't stick. help

Question:	Can you use modified thin set to install tile over the kerdi waterproofing membrane
Answer:	To make it look matte, please follow the instructions carefully. After application, the next stage would be to dry the repair with a hairdryer for 2 minutes then tap repair with a latex disposable glove to make it appear smooth, but less shiny. If you’ll use your finger instead, you’ll achieve a textured matte so, that depends on what you prefer.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the dilution rate for red brick pavers
Answer:	Yes. I think so. It's not going to clear a blizzard. But last winter I was facing a shoulder replacement and it did just what I needed preop when I had little arm function. I think if you just tilt it back a tad so edge does catch in the grass you should be able to remove enough snow for a path. It is very easy to use and I'm pleased with my purchase.
Question:	Does this product contain an inhibitor to prevent metal loss when using as a descaler
Answer:	About 8 inches then you use your own 3 prong extension cord. I have a 50 ft. Cord I use.
Question:	is this a good cleaner for trex deck
Answer:	Interesting question. Some suggestions: the device has a GreenWorks 4-year warranty with the standard disclaimers about abuse, etc. I would first call GreenWorks Helpline, 1-888-909-6757. The user manual discusses how to change some parts like the belt, impeller, and scraper, but nothing on the four vanes. The user manual also shows all parts and the vane is part no. 3410999A-10. I don't know if that is for all four or just one, but GreenWorks Helpline should be able to, well, help. Lastly, depending upon how the vanes are broken, you might be able to bolt some metal straps to them to hold them together as a temporary fix. Good luck!
Question:	Will this remove grout and haze in the tiny pores in my newly installed porcelain tile
Answer:	The Snapper SXDSS82 82V cordless snow shovel will only throw the snow forward, away from the unit.

User questions & answers

Question:	How wide are the wedges? Needing to know if System pliers will work on Raimondi wedges which are 1" wide
Answer:	Hi, no, the tile should not need clamped. Thanks!
Question:	Can you buy more wedges separately
Answer:	Yes it will. Thanks.
Question:	how much square footage of an 8 in square tile can you cover with this kit
Answer:	I had no problems using this thinset for Travertine tile. Mixing instructions are a guideline but I mix slightly thin with more water, Using a Milwaukee 1/2" drill mixed up very fast, electric drill. Setting the tiles I butter the backs first with a very thin layer to make sure it is 100% covered. I don't do this for a living but never had a problem with the tiles not sticking. Once I set one you can't really pull it back off using only your fingers. The back of the tiles can be wetted down with water first with a sponge to also be sure you get good adhesion but I always apply a thinset layer first. The thinset consistency can not be on the dryer side.
