Though mastic comes ready-made and is easy to use, it does not stand up to the rigors required of ceramic tile flooring, even Type 1 Mastic.<\/p>\n<p>Thinset mortar basically consists of Portland cement, sand and methylcellulose. The methylcellulose is used to slow the curing process to enable the tiles to be set.<\/p>\n<p>The thinset mortar requires mixing with water and sometimes an acrylic latex additive if additional bonding strength is required.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>It is much more durable than even Type 1 Mastic, and is ideal for water prone areas.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of thinset mortar manufacturers and products.
