    Thinset Issue
    What thin set should I use over Keri membrane? Modified or unmodified, latex or not? I get one story at Home Depot to use fortified modified with a polymer and the Keri info recommends non modified.

    I have the membrane up already using a non modified thin set. This is for a shower wall install.

    Thanks

    I have not used the keri product but I do know that you ALWAYS follow manufacturer's instructions to be sure you don't VOID any kind of warranty.

    If Keri says non-modified.. then use non-modified! I am sure they know their product best!

    Good luck...
