- For an interior application over a substrate such as drywall, Sheetrock, or plaster (painted or unpainted), you can use a standard pre-mixed tile mastic. It is usually white and comes premixed in a bucket and can be purchased from your local hardware store in the tile department.
- For an interior application over a substrate such as cement, backer-board, or other cement-like surfaces, use a tile thin-set adhesive. Thin-set adhesive is typically sold in a powder form and requires water and thorough mixing using a drill and mixing drill bit. Thin-set can be purchased from your local hardware store in the tile department.
- For an exterior application over a substrate such as cement, backer-board or other like surfaces, use a tile tin-set adhesive. Thin-set adhesive is sold in a powder form and requires water and thorough mixing using a drill and mixing drill bit. Thin-set can be purchased from your local hardware store in the tile department. Always use a moisture barrier and follow your local building codes.
- Do not use tile mastic to adhere Brickwebb directly to a wooden surface. A polymer modified tile thin-set adhesive can be used over an exterior grade plywood for interior applications only. The recommended brand is VersaBond Fortified Thin Set Mortar, or Mapei Polymer-Enriched Thin-Set Mortar and it can be purchased at your local hardware store in the tile department.
- Typical brick mortar such as type "S" or type "N" is not recommended to adhere Brickwebb, it is too thick and will not press through the webbing adequately reaching the brick surface.
