Description

Step 1

The tile-layering substrates must be flat, without large cracks, free from brittle and foreign bodies such as for example plaster residue, paint, oils, etc.

Step 2

It must be stable from shrinkage and distortion forces and must not be subject to vibrations. The absorbent substrates are primed using GLX 290 primer before application.

Step 3

In a clean container add 7,0-7,5 litres of clean water and gradually empty the content of a 25 Kg sack of product SKW 114, stirring continuously with an electric mixer in order to acquire a uniform wet mortar mass.

Step 4

Let the resulting mixture age for 5 minutes and mix again. The mixture is ready to be used within the next 4 hours.

Step 5

Following the preparation of the mixture do not add more water in order to correct the workability of the wet mortar.

Step 6

This would lead to the reduction of its strength and the increase of its shrinkage. spread the adhesive on the surface and then comb the adhesive layer using a special notched spatula.

Step 7

Within 20 min of adhesive layering, place the tiles at their location, pressuring firmly in order to ensure full contact. The installation of tiles on the wall may be performed starting from the upper part with the entire tile and without any slippage. The excess adhesive must be cleaned from the joints prior to drying.

Step 8

On surfaces larger than 25m2 it is necessary to install expansion joints. At the contact joints between floor and walls it is recommended to use adequate silica-containing pastes.

Step 9

During application and for the next 24 hours the environmental and substrates temperature must be between +5oC and +35oC. The cleaning of the adhesive is done with water while still wet. When it hardens it is removed mechanically.
