Excellent instructions, I felt as if I was right there in the class 👏

I just wanted to say how great that these classes are offered. So much to learn, not only from Isaac, but also from watching the participants. Thank you for offering these videos. They are a very helpful learning tool.

I can’t stop watching these videos. It’s such a stark contrast to the slick, quote-unquote PROFESSIONAL videos, documentaries, News pieces, campaign ads, marketing ads, et al, that are ubiquitous today. For some reason those who do it professionally seems to think “quick cuts” is snappy and “cool”. It’s not. It’s nauseating. Long lingering shots, with real dialogue is best. The rougher the better, IMHO. Also, a shout-out to Isaac’s cameraman. He does a great job! I will sprinkle this comment on other videos to try to “change the world.” Lol.

I think this is a great idea for helping those who have no experience but want to try doing something new or maybe cant afford to have remodel work done,etc. Cool stuff. Thanks for helping others!

As a tile professional based in Charlotte, NC this video is very accurate and useful. Very fundamental but once you learn it you use it for your advantage. My personal tip: Only make enough thinset for maximum 2 hours of use, consider when you take lunch or going home to run out right before you head out. For convenience and functionality.

Tons of great information. Thank you!

awesome class!! Issac is a hero

Pretty cool that hold classes Isaac, & maybe one day if things line up, can attend and hang learning some new tips/tricks and have some fun w/ tile work…..👍🏻 would love to watch entire course, but “get it”…no worries😊 Know not much, but Thanks for helping others; cheers✌🏻

Great video and great information

Now do you make the same consistency for setting tile as applying membrane? I'd think you'd leave it more loose for membrane.

Great instructions bro! Thats alot of money in New drills! 😆

I imagine it's not a bad thing to learn the effects of various hydration levels, but it seems to me, everyone's interpretation of "half-bag" is going to be different. If you begin with measured water, is there an argument against measuring the powder to achieve more accurate mixing ratios as prescribed by the manufacturer?

Do you have Henkel Ceresit CM thinset in the US ?

Dam Ike. You used hood Thinset for practice. I would’ve used that home chepo mix 😂😂😂. Great stuff like always brother

It’s crazy seeing people try to mix thin set to learn a trade but don’t know how to use a mixer\drill. Ya kinda need some sort of foundation in the basics before trying to learn a trade. If ya can’t use a drill proper it’s gonna be hard to learn a trade. Especially at the age these guys are at, one should at least be able to use a drill proper.

IMO nobody in this video has what it takes to be in any trade. As I’m getting older I haven’t seen many that work or have the drive that I had coming up. I couldn’t imagine turning these people loose in a mud box mixing for a couple setters. Or grouting a few thousand feet of tile a week lol.

No you typically want to grind it out with a diamond cup blade and a grinder, and then prime it. Don’t buy Ridgid cup blade the one at harbor freight’s actually 10x better and will last a lot longer, the only down side is the Ridgid blade collects dust better when you have the vacuum attachment attached

well yeah, with hydro barrier you need fabric. which costs money, takes time and makes it hard to have the tiles set properly.

Still have no idea what consistency that you are looking for. If I mix Laticrete according to the max water level it is far too thick. I am adding more water but concerned of consequences of not following instructions.

There is one part in the video where dude says that you usually always have to add more water than what is recommended. I would use the water they recommend and then add more water if needed. Just little at a time. Even if you add too much water, you can add a bit more of the dry mix to get it right. Also look at the end of the video when they are spreading it around and such. You should be able to get an idea from that. I know there was one video where you would put a bloob of it on his trowel and turn it upside down and it would stay stuck on there. Kinda like how they do your blizzard at dairy queen.
