Surface Preparation

The surface should be sound, dry and free from dirt, oils and greases. In case any concrete curing, membranes are used, should be removed by Wire brushing.


Mixing

Super Grade : Mix 1.5 part water to 4 parts of the adhesive powder thoroughly with a trowel or steel paddle hand stirrer i.e. slow speed electric drill with steel paddle stirrer to a uniform consistency paste. Let the mixture stand for 15-20 minutes to allow the organic compound in it to dissolve completely.
Regular Grade : Mix 1 part water to 4 parts of adhesive powder.


Application
Stir the mixture well once more. Spread the mixture onto the wall with a notch trowel. Lay the tile over the adhesive & press it down to squash the groove formed.


Fixing

A layer of 3 mm thickness between the tile and surface should suffice.


Post Application

Wipe off the surplus paste from the tiles with a damp cloth. Leave for minimum 24
hours before grouting the joints.


Cleaning

Tools and equipments should be cleaned with water when the adhesive is in uncured state.
