Method of Application
- The surface to be tiled should be sound and thoroughly cleaned. Surface should be free from wax, grease, polish etc.
- Add 3 to 3.5 parts of powder to 1 part of water.
- Mix with a trowel or slow speed drills (50 – 100 rpm) until a lump free homogeneous paste is obtained.
- Always mix the required quantity, which can be consumed within 60 min. pot life.
- Leave mixture for 5-10 min. and remix before use. Mix only sufficient quantity of adhesive for immediate need.
- Spread the adhesive to a thickness of approx. 3-6 mm and comb with a notched trowel. Strictly apply the adhesive paste which can be tiled within 10 to 15 mins.
- The most important standard to keep in mind is to insure that the piece of tile is completely bedded in the mortar or adhesive with 100% coverage and to eliminate the possibility of any air voids.
- Excess mortar on adhesive shall be cleaned from the surface of the stone with wet cloth or sponge while the mortar is fresh.
- If a plaster/levelling mortar bed is applied, ensure that it is cured for at least 7 days to achieve proper strength before application of tile adhesive for installation of tile
- Dampen the wall before application of thin set adhesive
- Keep joints between two-tiles using spacers.
- Start filling joints only after 24 hrs. With Bendito Epoxy Kit or Bendito TG Mix
