Usage Instruction

Surface Preparation

• The surface must be cleaned thoroughly, with no loose particles or dust.

• The surface must be structurally sound, clean and free from dirt, oil, grease, efflorescence and any other contaminant which could impair the natural bond.

• Surface defects such as cracks, holes or voids should be repaired prior to application.

Mixing

• Add 3 – 3.5 parts of powder to 1 part of water or 5 - 6 litre water for 20kg 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.

• Always mix required quantity, which can be consumed within pot life.

• Leave mixture for 5 minutes before use. No further water should be added.

Precautions

• Always add powder to water. Do not add excess water than recommended.

• Never add sand & cement at site. Do not use on wet screed. Surface must be fully cured.

• Do not use the adhesive to correct surface irregularities greater than 15 mm.

• Protect from direct rainfall/ foot traffic for at least 24 hours.

• Leave gap between the tile & fill gaps with tile grout.

• Designer/ applicator must evaluate the use of an additional mechanical fastening system for extra security for high height (such as steel hooks fastened to the substrate).
