Application steps

MIXING

All surfaces should be clean, dry and free of dust and loose material before commencing. Refer to above for specific surfaces. Always add powder to water. Mix approximately three parts by volume powder to 1 part by volume water (approx 4 to 1 by weight) and mix to a slump free mortar.

APPLICATION

Spread adhesive to a depth of 6 mm and comb to 3 mm to leave a solid bed with 3 mm ribs. Secure tiles with a slight twist action to ensure no voids remain. Tiles should be fixed within 20 min of spreading depending on absorbency of substrate and temperature. Lightly touch the adhesive periodically and if a skin has formed, remove the adhesive and apply a new layer. It is good practice to periodically remove a tile and check that the adhesive covers a minimum of 75% of the tile.

Never add further water once the adhesive has started to go off. This will destroy the bond strength.

All surplus adhesive must be removed whilst the adhesive is still wet using a dampened cloth or sponge, particularly along the grout lines.
