  |  Adhesives (American Terms) ? Was looking through a book, believe it's published in America written by M Byrne, and it refers to different adhesives as: Organic Mastic. Thinset Adhesive. Polymer-modified Thinset Adhesive. Can anyone tell me what these adhesives equate to in UK. |

|  Not really sure about the full answer but I think thinset equates to our normal adhesive and polymer modified is flexy adhesive. Organic mastic, maybe silicone? I am sure DH will post an answer soon though. Grumpy |

| 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 ! |

| One More thing! Over here on the other side of the pond, we don`t call thinsets or mastics , or epoxy setting materials or any thing to set tile with "adhesives" over here if you say adhesive you get "Glue", |
