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.
Excellent instructions, I felt as if I was right there in the class 👏
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
Great video and great information
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 instructions bro! Thats alot of money in New drills! 😆
Now do you make the same consistency for setting tile as applying membrane? I'd think you'd leave it more loose for membrane.
Watching people that don’t know what there doing trying to do things that are just second nature to guys like us it’s hard to watch but you forget at one point we were all new doing the same shit
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.
@@wasntme3651 and maybe pay attention a little better, get off the phone. Sorry but as a contractor myself, while trying to train a group and you have someone there with what looks like a lack of interest. Good thing they were paying for a class vs you paying them hourly 🤑

Yeah as someone that’s been in the trade since 98 and a contractor myself, it’s pretty easy to spot someone that has what it takes versus someone that doesn’t. 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.
@@MtPockets14U Yeah, that part irritated me, if someone is showing you how to do something, get off your phone, it's just disrespectful.
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?
Did my first time project last week I used all set and man I wish they sold them in 10 lbs bags preportioned
Dam Ike. You used hood Thinset for practice. I would’ve used that home chepo mix 😂😂😂. Great stuff like always brother
home depot thinset is a completely different consistency and they wouldn't learn anything from mixing it.
Do you have Henkel Ceresit CM thinset in the US ?
Where do you do you’re clases ?
I would like to take some clases
How much do you charge for one of your classes?
Where do you get those liners for the bucket? I seem to only be finding marinade bags and yours look like silicone.
5 gallon silicone liners found on Amazon for about 25 bucks.
@@vtecispower those cheap liners suck only good maybe for paint, beastmixer is the only way to go, $160 bucks but worth every penny! its in an important tool.
Is that Vancouver Carpenter?
I have a question can you put self-leveler over existing thinset?
I have done it no problems
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
Can you make a video of the hydro ban vs hydro barrier both are from laticrete but the hydro barrier plus is half the price
well yeah, with hydro barrier you need fabric. which costs money, takes time and makes it hard to have the tiles set properly.
Nice class! I’d probably also recommend a half mask and some heating protection. May seem like over kill but silica is no joke. 😀
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.
I had the same issue... I think I will add more water. Also I made the mistake off dumping the whole bag at once..
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.
Where did you get the bucket savers, I have the beast mixer, are those a little less expensive? Thanks ✌🏻
Looks like a can of chew in Issac's pocket? Copenhagen or Kodiak?
I like this because it makes absolutely no sense...
Can of chew....
.... Appreciate it😀
@@matthewanderson6254 chewing tobacco in America comes in a circular can
@@Ghossty1444 um no it doesn’t. Skoal comes in a circular can, chewing tobacco comes in a pouch 2 completely and totally different things.
You mean the measuring tape ?
@@triplebeamdreaminful That's what I thought at first but watch again and see his tape is on the other side hooked on his right pocket.
The guy in the middle on his phone is pissing me off showing a lot of respect being on your phone instead of paying attention to the instructions
He was taking notes on his phone of the process and key tip 🤙
Always that one guy that pops off and doesn’t have a clue what he is even talking about. He is taking notes and pics.🤦♂️
Not being that guy in my day we took notes on a pen an pad in any environment weather your talking to a customer potential client an instructor it is always a bad habit to be in your phone it makes you look like you do not have their full attention that they are requiring even when a customer or instructor asks me a question that I need to refer to my phone I always maintain proper eye contact with them to ensure them they have my full attention by how this guy was struggling threw the lesson compared to the other students I could tell he was not giving issac his full attention
@@williamtipton1378 Did you use punctuation, back in your day? Personally, I used a stone tablet and chisel. Only young know-it-alls like yourself tried to use a "pen an pad".
I want to know how none of the buckets are spinning lol
Silicone bucket protector always for separation.
Where are the gals??
Don't wear rubber gloves if you're using your hand tighten the mixing paddle to the drill. You might hurt your wrist.
you mean rip your rubber glove most likely.
@@tylededf they can wrap around the chuck in the drill and buckle your wrist.
@@tylededf if you're using the trigger to tighten the chuck that is 🤙🏻
you forgot to show that your suppose to mix at 300 rpm. they were all turning at 800 rpm
Learning how to mix what the hell🤣🤣
Are you guys into qanon?
most likely not, most people live in reality
@@PeterYurkins in one of their videos I saw what looked like the q anon slogan written in large letters inside their warehouse. I agree, it’s total nonsense. Felt like asking him about it.
Tell the Asian guy to get off his phone
Asians are studious. He’s taking notes.
Wow. What the heck is this sorry waste of time and materials...and water, and air... lol
LMAO Bunch of grown men who cant read directions. It literally says on the bag how to mix it. You can not be serious...
Seriously? How swollen has your ego become? Is this tile kindergarten?
