APPLICATION
Surface Preparation The surface must be structurally sound, level and free from dust, grease and excess moisture. All plastered surfaces should be finished with wooden float, dampen all porous surfaces with water, and then wipe off excess water before applying adhesive. Wall Application Spread the cementitious adhesive as mixed above on to the surface using a 3mm notched trowel when laying ceramic wall tiles. Do not spread more than 1 m2 at a time. If the adhesive dries due to excessive delay in affixing the tiles, remove the adhesive and comb out a fresh layer. The underside of the tile must be made in good contact with the adhesive, therefore twist each tile slightly on the adhesive bed or tap the tile carefully with the handle of a hammer, while positioning of the tile is carried out. Never place tiles on applied spot of adhesive, and this method may cause failure. When laying large areas, care should be taken to make provision for expansion joints in the minimum of 5 meters both vertically and horizontally. They should also coincide with the joints in the substrate, if provided.

Floor Application Spread the adhesive mortar on to the surface using 3mm notched trowel for laying flat backed ceramic and mosaic tiles. Tiles which have grooves, ridges or knobs on the back should be laid using a 6mm notched trowel. Follow all laying procedure as explained in case of wall application.Cavity filling materials or grouts should not be placed on the space between tiles for the least 24 hours after completion of tilling. The adhesive can be used as grout if the space left between tiles is not less than 2mm. Our white or coloured grout (ACROTILE – G) may be available on request.
