Directions for use
- Place the required amount of Drymix Floor Tile Adhesive into a mixer or onto a non-absorbent surface
- Add potable water gradually ensuring that it does not wash away any cement and mix thoroughly
to ensure an even and consistent mix (NOTE : Add enough water to make a workable mix and do not add excessive water as this will weaken the Drymix Floor Tile Adhesive. The recomended amount of water should be added to ensure that the bedding mortar is moist enough to bond to the tiles but not so wet that it sags or runs down). - Form a mortar bed of approximately 3 to 6 mm thick from end to end using a grooved trowel.
- Place the tile on the bed of mortar and remove any excess mortar that may be squeezed out when the tile
is placed and smoothen the joint. Any gaps that become apparent must be filled with mortar allowing
it to dry before finishing with a ‘pointing’ mix applied in line with the manufacturers
recommendations. - All tools and equipment should be cleaned with water after use.
- Do not re-temper the mortar if it stiffens. Discard the stiffened product and make a new mix
