Application steps
APPLICATION
- Tiles shall be fixed in accordance with AS3958.1-2007.
- Ensure the backs of tiles are free from dust and contaminants.
- Apply the paste adhesive to the substrate with the appropriate sized trowel to achieve coverage requirements on both substrate and the back of the tile. Tiles may require "back-buttering" to acheive minimum coverage requirements.
- Apply the adhesive with the notched trowel in a single direction. While pressing the tile into the wet adhesive break the ridges with the tile to fully bed the tile into the adhesive.
- It is advisable to periodically check the backs of the tiles to ensure minimum adhesive coverage requirements are being achieved.
- Only apply enough adhesive that can be covered prior to the adhesive skinning. If skinning occurs remove and replace with fresh adhesive.
- Remove any excess adhesive from the face and joints with a damp sponge while the adhesive is still wet. Ensure grout joints are of uniform depth.
- Expansion and control joints must be installed as per AS ISO 3958.1-2007.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Tools and equipment can be cleaned with water while the adhesive is still wet.
