-_dup1 Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 I've been reading up on soundproofing, and one article from the UK keeps mentioning "mastic" and a "mastic gun". I have a feeling this is one of those things that has a different name in the US (like a UK "rubber" being a US "eraser" :D ), as I've never heard of the word before and haven't seen it at my local building supply store. Anyone know what it is? Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Seems I remember long ago hearing my dad refer to "mastic". I believe it's a type of tile caulk, or some equivalent to the glue you lay floor tile with. I don't think it's as foreign as it is archaic.

Lee Flier Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Mastic is the adhesive used to lay tile and such... it's kinda like a cross between mortar and glue. --Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
