We consider product of two Cantor sets, and obtain the optimal estimates in terms of their thickness that guarantee that their product is an interval. This problem is motivated by the fact that the spectrum of the Labyrinth model, which is a two dimensional quasicrystal model, is given by the product of two Cantor sets. We also discuss the connection between our problem and the ”intersection of two Cantor sets” problem, which is a problem considered in several papers before.
