Okay, I happen to have just finished a big bathroom remodel where I used
latex modified thinset and mastic... so I have my choice leftover.
The bathroom floor is 20" x 21" and the tiles I've selected are the 1" square
ones on a backing material.
Should I use the latex thinset or the mastic?
I also have left over cement backerboard, or can out it down on the vinyl
floor that's there now.
