How to use
Surface preparation
All surfaces must be clean and free from oil, grease or loose materials. Substrate should dimensionally stable. Allow time for shrinkage and structural strain movements.
Joints
Tiles should not be placed over expansion or contraction joints. Stop tiles on joint edges and fill joints with flexible sealant.
Mixing
To ensure proper mixing, a mechanically powered mixer or drill fitted with a suitable paddle should be used. Stir the base and the hardener individually to disperse any settlement. The entire contents of the base and hardener should be poured into a suitable size container and mixed mechanically for 2 minutes. Add the filler and mix for another 3 minutes, until a uniform color is achieved.
Application
- Spread to a uniform thickness of 2 - 3 mm.
- Comb horizontally.
- Place tile firmly over the applied area.
- Do not apply large areas of adhesives that cannot be covered within the open wet time of the adhesive.
