intermittently wet areas such as tub surrounds or shower walls.
Recommended for tile up to 8" (20 cm) on any side. Can be used with
wall or countertop tile up to 15" (38 cm) on any side but dry time
significantly increases. For tile with any side greater than 15" (38 cm)
CUSTOM recommends using a polymer modified thinset mortar for
setting large format tile. Call Technical Services for more information
