  4. Application

    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.
