I purchased Red Gard moisture coating at the local Home Depot. I had called the manufacturer of Red Gard and they said the only thinset I could use with that was Megalite. When I tried to purchase that at the Watertown Home Depot I was told they did not stock that product. How can you not stock?!

Very strong mortar, and necessary for my application of thick, large format tile. Nice and light for easier handling too, but is pricey.

This is a lightweight, but strong mortar that I used it to tile my 25 sq ft bathroom floor (1st time). Initially I went with the Thinset, after taking the Home Depot Installing tile workshop, but I wasted about 3/4 of bag of thinset trying to figure out how much to use. There were too many lumps. Though the instructions read that you can mix by hand, FYI - You will benefit from using a power tool and mixer attachment to thoroughly mix the product with water. (I'm still trying to figure out out to get the hardened thinset out of the orange bucket.)
I was concerned that I would waste a large quantity if I used the entire bag. So, i read another reviewer's response on how to determine the right quantity of the product if I didn't need it. (Think of peanut butter consistency. So, I added water and product until it reached the smooth peanut butter consistency and gauged how much to use for the job. I completed tiling and grouting and I still have approximately half of the product in the bag left to use for another bathroom. I could have used a little less, but for a first timer, I am very pleased with the MegaLite 30 lb. bag.
Now on to completing the rest of the job.

I liked the lightweight and high flex features for my bathroom and kitchen (250 sf). It's pricy but hopefully it will result in a durable, large-format tile installation. A couple issues that were frustrating... the pot time is certainly less than 4 hours when mixed as directed on the bag. I found that if it was mixed per instructions, I had about 45-60 mins before it began to dry out and became difficult to trowel. I probably threw out half a bag before I switched it up and started mixing with additional water to improve the workability. I also routinely found dozens of small white pebbles (looked like teeth) in the mortar, between .25 and .5 inches in diameter! If i'm spending 40 a bag on thinset, the last thing I'd expect to find in it are stones! Buyer beware.
