Things they don’t tell you about thinset ⬇️
🚫Thinset is not workable forever.
😵💫Once mixed it begins to cure in the bucket. Thinset life inside of your bucket is called bucket life.
⏳Most quality thinset will get you 2-4 hours in the bucket before it’s no longer usable.
‼️Now once you spread your mortar on your substrate things change drastically.
⌚️This is called open time, most quality thinset has a working time on your substrate for about 20 to 30 minutes.
👀It’s always good practice to check your thinset if you are tiling or preparing are large area with thinset. If you aren’t getting thinset transfer to your finger before you lay your tile you need to reapply fresh thinset to ensure you’re achieving a proper bond.
You learn all this + more inside my online course.

Prepping walls for tile ⬇️
☠️ I can think a million things I would rather do than set tile on walls that aren’t flat.
😵💫 If you’ve ever done it you know what I’m talking about ( + don’t lie, we’ve all skipped a step or two)
🤓 Depending on your tile size, there are different variance allowances required according to the TCNA
✅ It’s best practice to get your walls completely flat/ plumb but at least staying within the specified guidelines are best practice
Ways get walls flat:
👉🏼 Sister studs
👉🏼 Using drywall shims
👉🏼 Planing studs (high spots)
👉🏼 Wet shimming (In some cases)

PSA: What you focus on, GROWS. #Ad
-
As a woman in an industry dominated by men, I used to focus on negativity. I used to let it GROW inside my thoughts.
-
Let’s flip the switch: negativity from others, self-doubt, and fear are all human nature.
-
Most of us are just afraid to admit we feel those things.
-
Wanna know what’s cool? Having fear, doubt, and people looking down on you and doing it anyway.
-
Be a little more YOU today. Shift your perspective and focus on your INTENTION and less on others doubt.
-
If you could do one thing you always wanted to do but felt you couldn’t because of one reason or another, what would it be?
