Method of Application
Surface Preparation
Floor
- The surface should be sound, clean and free from dirt, oil or grease before Advance Tile Adhesive is applied.
- Expansion joints coinciding with joints in the substrate should be incorporated at the design stage with spacing at 5 mm maximum & it is not to be covered with tiles.
- Movement joints up to 5 mm width & wider joints to be filled with Bendito Epoxy
- The surface must be plumb before application of adhesives.
- The surface must be in SSD condition before application of adhesive.
Wall
The surface to be tiled should be sound and thoroughly cleaned. surface should be free from wax, grease, polish etc.
Mixing
- Add 3-3.5 parts of powder to 1 part of water.
- Mix with a trowel/slow speed drills (50-100 rpm) until a lump free homogeneous past is obtained. Always mix the required quantity, which can be consumed with in 30 min. pot life.
Fixing
- Spread the adhesive to a thickness of approx. 3-6mm and comb with a notched trowel strictly apply the adhesive paste which can be tiled 5 to 15 minutes.
- Intermittently touch the adhesive paste on substrate by finger if the adhesive sticks to fingers then continue fixing and if not scrape off the adhesive and apply newly mixed adhesive.
- Start placing the tile/stone on the surface to be fixed. Tap the tile/stone properly to ensure complete coverage of the backside of Tile/stone and to eliminate the possibility of any air voids.
- Keep joints between two-tile/stone using spacers.
- Start filling joints only after 24 hrs. with Bendito Epoxy Kit.
Precautions & Limitations
- For laying tiles on floor, surface should be sufficiently hard & good condition.
- Always add powder to water & never add water to powder.
- Do not add excess water than recommended.

- Strictly not recommended for tiling on gypsum plaster, paint, Plywood& wood derivatives, metal, decorative laminates, highly deformable surfaces subject to vibrations.
- Adhesives for ceramic tile, bricks and stone are not designed as replacements for waterproof coating.
- Leave no voids behind tiles
- Protect from direct rainfall foot traffic for at least 24 hours.
- In heavy tile application or external floor area use with Bendito Stone Faijar
