Areas of Application
Usage Guide & Method of Application
Clean the surface. Sand wood or drywall surfaces lightly to ensure mechanical keying. Check surface levelness (should be within 3mm over 2 meters).
Add 5.0 to 5.4 litres of clean water. Blend at low RPM to avoid air entrainment. Let stand for 5 minutes, then stir for 1 minute.
Spread adhesive with a notched trowel. Apply tiles using adequate pressure to ensure full contact. For heavy stones, mechanical clamps are recommended on walls.
Coverage
Approx. 30–35 sq.ft per 20 kg bag at a bed thickness of 4–5 mm.
Precautions & Safety
- Do not apply on damp wood or non-structural drywalls.
- Ensure proper movement joints are designed in large floor layouts.
- Store bags in a well-ventilated dry space.
