Application
AS AN ADHESIVE: All surfaces should be clean, dry and free of dust and loose material before commencing. Refer to directions for specific surfaces.Surfaces to be tiled must be clean, dry and sound. Porous surfaces, including plaster, must be primed with Everbuild® 503 SBRBond diluted 1:3 with water and allowed to dry before tiling. Allow new plaster to dry at least one month before tiling. Apply adhesive to wall at a depth of 3-6 mm (no less than 3 mm, no greater than 6 mm) combing out an area of no greater than 1 m2 at a time. In dry situations, use a suitable notched trowel across the surface of the adhesive before placing the tiles into position and securing with a slight twist action to remove air voids.
In areas subject to wet conditions, do not use a notched trowel. Bed the tiles directly into the surface of the adhesive and again, secure with a slight twist action. In both situations, it is good practice to periodically remove a tile and check that at least 75 % of the tile is covered in adhesive. If this is not the case, apply fresh adhesive and reposition.
All surplus adhesive must be removed whilst adhesive is still wet using a dampened cloth or sponge, particularly along grout lines.
AS A GROUT: Apply by squeegee or sponge, working well into joints. Ensure no voids remain. Suitable for joint widths up to 6 mm. Allow adhesive to dry for 24- 72 hours before grouting depending on porosity. Allow grout to dry for 7 days before using shower areas/baths.
