Application Procedure:
1. Apply adhesive using a notched trowel to achieve the desired thickness.
2. Press tiles firmly into the adhesive bed, ensuring full contact.
3. Adjust tiles within the open time.
4. Remove excess adhesive before it hardens.
Grouting:
Grouting can commence after 24 hours of tile installation. Use suitable grout
recommended for the tile type and environmental conditions.
Precautions & Safety Measures:
• Do not add water to a mixture that has already started to set.
