Homax Introduces SPRAY & SET Wall Tile Adhesive

Bellingham, WA — Homax brand, the leader in DIY home repair aerosol spray textures, recently announced the breakthrough introduction of SPRAY & SET, a powerful new professional-grade adhesive for applying wall tiles on backsplashes and other decorative applications. Now, creating a backsplash or tiling walls is easier and faster than ever before, with this non-toxic, VOC-free adhesive that works with flat-backed, structurally sound natural stone, ceramic and porcelain tiles. Unlike traditional adhesives that require waiting times of 24 hours or more, SPRAY & SET forms a permanent bond in minutes. After applying SPRAY & SET to a clean, dry wall, stone and tile can be set in place just 30 minutes later. Grout can be added one hour after setting tiles, so projects can be completed in less than a day, getting the room back in use sooner. Each can covers up to 40 square feet.

SPRAY & SET allows layout and chalk lines to show through the adhesive, so tiles can be set perfectly the first time, even in intricate designs and patterns, with no sagging. For people who want to tile but don't because of the complexity and mess, Spray & Set provides a "No measuring, mixing or troweling" solution that delivers beautiful, permanent results. SPRAY & SET can also eliminate the need for mortar, mastic, spacers and other tools, so projects cost less, and there is less mess to clean up afterward.

"At Homax, we develop products consumers have been asking for to meet specific needs. Homax Spray & Set makes a tiling project achievable in a single day," stated Carolyn Resar, vice president of marketing for The Homax Group, Inc. "Today's consumers are time-starved, but they still want to beautify their homes in a fast, easy, achievable manner, without compromising the end result. Spray & Set helps them to do this."
