Review on MAPEI ECO-PRIME GRIP: Versatile Bond Promoting Primer for Multiple Purposes by Johnny Murphy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic article! - Primer

I'm late to do this review but still wanted to contribute. I found out about this product on You Tube from a guy who has a Reno at home. He said it's a lot easier than ripping off the old tile — just paint the material, let it dry, and then lay the tile right on top of the existing one. My local Home Depot or Lowes said they couldn't ship it to Alaska due to shipping restrictions. However, Revane reappears. Now it says on the packaging that transport and storage are not possible in sub-zero temperatures. But folks, everything going to Alaska freezes, but I still took the risk. I'm retiling the fireplace and don't want to knock all the old tiles off the wall and redo the drywall. I received the product at my doorstep and when I got home it was 15 below zero. I put it in the garage (about 55 degrees) and let it thaw for a couple of days. Then I opened it, stirred it and applied it according to the instructions. Went like clockwork! Saved me a lot of time and money and my tile work and fireplace look fantastic. The delivery was as promised but I was working that day and just couldn't get home in time to collect the van. However, temperatures below 15°C did not affect the performance of the product - provided it was properly thawed. This is fabulous stuff.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very Expensive
