Directions for Use
- Surface Preparation: Prepare the surface clean, sound, and free from dust, grease, or loose material.
- Mixing: Mix one 20 kg bag with approximately 5–6 litres of clean water to a smooth, lump free consistency, and use within its pot life (approx. 1.5 hours).
- Application: Apply with a notched trowel and press tiles firmly into place.
- Finishing: Allow tiling to set for 24 hours before grouting, and clean tools with water immediately after use.
