They carry it at Home Depot, what do you expect.

Someone I know bought that and wants to do their counter with it. I said good luck.

Only use it for realtor repair for the seller. Warranty ends with the sale.

So you mean the tailgate warranty. As soon as you can't see my tailgate the warranty is done.

I watched it 4 times and still didnt see the part where you adhere/fasten the bondera down. Peel & stick also? Aside from durability issues a job done with this would have to look like total crap.

I call it my out of sight warranty. When I'm out of sight you're out of warranty:laugh3:

If it sticks anything like that window flashing stuff it might just work. however if you have to move a tile for whatever reason you won't get it to come up without destroying something

And No I would not ever use this product.
Tile should be set in thinset on a proper backing.
I will only use organic mastic on areas that will never see water.

15. Can I use Bondera TileMatSet in an interior wet environment?

Yes, Bondera repels water and can be applied in interior wet environments such as backsplashes, showers, bathroom walls, but not hot tubs or pools. To ensure proper performance, be sure to install Bondera sections as close together as possible and apply Bondera Wet Area Seam Tape to all seams for a water-tight system.


Hope they got a good team of lawyers.

That was my first thought - but it is from W. R. Grace & Co.–Conn, a chemical company

I think Grace might have a good lawsuit on there hands as this product could possibly kill there image

Now Rory, we didn't laugh that loud when you used Liquid Nail :laugh3:

looks a lot like http://www.protectowrap.com/products/flooring.php except the tiles actually get thinset to PW and the PW is self sticky like grace shield and sticks like crazy, I used it once on a loft because it also offers a sound barrier and made locally here. this product seems to short cut the process. More repair money!:smash:
