I've repaired a ceramic corner shelf that was split right in half. Latex modified flexible thinset like 'megalite' is decent because it comes with a warranty, but it still cracks. There's no thinset out there that has real crackfree flex to it. They will say it does and put a warranty on the bag, but then the bag of thinset costs 40-50 bucks. They mark up the price of the thinset to offset the guaranteed crack free flexible warranty.

@ambinx its called latex modified flexible thinset, you should still caulk the corners though. thinset both sides, never heard or seen a cornershelf crack, nor has anyone i know.
-
@ambinx the way i look at it, is that your paying for a skill, not a guy to stand on an assembly line. i install, and people do not wanna pay for quality work. welcome to the new america, work hard and not get paid.

@SuperThissucks I currently live in Florida, but I know some people in the Phoenix area. Probably a lot of work out that way. Its decent here, but you got these handymen that are advertising $1 a ft. for installation and its dictating the everybody's prices. I mostly do work on the high end/custom market, but even people building multi-million dollar homes are trying to get you to come way off your prices.

@ambinx I have to agree with you on that. It's easier to recaulk then it is to regrout. You sound like a good setter, you wouldn't happen to live in the Phoenix area. I'm gonna move there soon and will be looking for good help
-
@SuperThissucks I wouldn't say it's a moot point. If you grout the corners in rather than caulk them the grout will crack every time guaranteed.
-
@ambinx if the walls are going to move that much then you have to regrout anyway. so it's a moot point. But on the flip side, I tend to use the metal pans anchored to the walls and then mud and tile because the pan adds the extra strength and base.
-
What happens if there is any movement with the walls? That shelf will split in half because you thinset both sides. You thinset one side and use something with more flex to it for the other side so that there is room for a little "give". Thats why you always caulk the corners in rather than grout because the walls are going to expand and contract.

Micheal great craftsmanship and cool music. One of them fat,rich Atlanta belles might wanna shave them "knankles" and rip that built in out. Just for safety sake
install weight limit plaque. Good looking work.
I watched your last video and I was a little skeptical of your full coverage now I'm sure that you need to work on getting full coverage on every piece, quality is also in how long it will last.
