SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
- The substrate must be level, cured, undamaged, compact, rigid, resistant, dry and free from any deboning agents and from damp rising.
- All surfaces must be plumb and true to within 6 mm in 10 ft. (3m).
- Dry, dusty surfaces should be dampened with water & excess water should be swept off.
MIXING
- Add 3 – 3.5 parts of powder to 1 part of water or 5 – 6 liter water for 20 Kg powder in a clean mixing vessel.
- Adjust the water as per desired consistency.
- Mix with a suitable mechanical stirrer or slow speed drills (50 – 100 rpm) until a lump free homogeneous paste is obtained.
- Leave mixture for 5 minutes before use.
APPLICATION
- Apply adhesive to the substrate with the flat side of the trowel.
- Comb on additional adhesive with the notched side.
- Use the proper sized notched trowel to ensure full bedding of the tile.
- Tiles must be fixed within 15-20 minutes of adhesive being applied, depending on the porosity of the surface and atmospheric conditions.
- Leave no voids behind tiles.
- For large size tiles or irregular surfaces, adhesive can additionally be buttered on the backs of the tiles to ensure full adhesive contact.
- Use suitable support along with adhesive for fixing tiles on vertical surfaces.
- Clean off surplus adhesive from the tile face and between joints.
