What is this "mastic" stuff anyway?.......

I need to remove a plastic nut, It is hiding and cannot get my hands around it, to remove.

I have been told to use "channel lock"?:eek: What are they? What do they look like?

Also, if I am installing marble on my bathroom wall, what adhesive would I use? Do I need to use this mastic stuff, or can I use regular thinset, white, for marble?

Thanks very much.

In your case (by the way, why isn't this project finished by now?) the channel locks will allow you to reach into the wall from the front to loosen that nut.:)

Use white thinset for your marble. It doesn't necessarily have to be specifically for marble if you have the regular stuff on hand from one of your other projects.:wink:

GIT-R-DONE!

Thanks Bud. When I did my tiling I used white modified thinset. So I guess I can use that.

Not done yet. If only the day had 48 hours.......
I still have to purchase my tiles. I am looking for those small tiles on a mesh background.

OK, you know I am going to ask you more ?s......:)
What size notch trowel do I use if I am using those small tiles that are on that mesh background?

Thanks again.
