You all answered befor I could get on today!

I couldn`t have described the meanings any better.

Mastic= pre mixed in the bucket ,organic compound that takes forever to fully cure/dry, behind tiles unless you wait weeks or months to grout & still that questionable ? needs lots of air to cure ,why do ya think it stays workable in the bucket with the lid on ?? :-)

Thinset = Is a very broad term over here , cememt based powder form in bags is all called thinset! Be it modified(flexi) latex or polimers added or un- modified =(no latex or polimers added=dry set)
I use mostly un-modified bags with liquid/milk to make it modified . unless I`m setting on Ditra or Kerdi .

Hope this helps !

White sand & blue water !!!
