Physical Properties

Application Instructions

Surface Preparation

All surfaces must be solid, load-bearing, even and non- deformable. They must be free of dust, dirt, loose objects and separating agents such as oil, grease, wax, varnish and paint. Steel surfaces should be grit blasted to SA 2½ and the adhesive applied within 3 hours of blasting.

Mixing

The base and hardener should be mixed together using a slow speed drill and paddle until a uniform grey paste is obtained.

Application

Once the resin base and hardener are mixed thoroughly, apply  tile adhesive with either a smooth or notched trowel. Press tile form from its centre outward to force out excess resin and eliminate air entrapment. Pound tile with a rubber hammer to ensure a close fit. Scrape excess adhesive from tile seams.
