Application Description

SURFACE PREPARATION

• Make sure tiles are firmly set, and adhesive or mortar is completely dry for 24 hours.
• Remove all spacers, pegs, ropes and string; clean joints by removing free loose dirt particles.
• To ensure desired results, a mockup installation is required before the actual installation.

PREPARING MIX

• Always mix complete units. Parts A (Base) and B (Hardener) arepackaged to the exact quantity ratio for proper mixing. Partial mixing will result improper/no curing of grout.
• In a clean container, mix all of Part A (Tinted material) and all of Part B. Use a slow-speed stirrer for mixing to get a homogenous, consistent color. A small quantity, can be mixed manually at the site.

APPLICATION

• Press the grout firmly by using a hard rubber squeeze, into joints ensuring that the joints are completely filled.
• Remove the excess grout material from joints and surface by moving the squeeze diagonally to the grout lines.

CLEANING

• Clean off the surplus grout from tile joints and surface after 20-25 minutes.
• Initially use a rough textured sponge dampened with clean water.
• Use the damp sponge in a circular motion and keep it relative to the tile surface to achieve the flush joint.
• After completion of work clean the grout haze from the tile with clean water or soap solution.

PRECAUTIONS

• Wear suitable rubber gloves to avoid skin contact during application.
• Never apply the Epoxy Tile Grout on wet/damp surface.
• Do not allow water to flow/run in to ungrouted joints while application.
• Apply masking tapes along tile joints while working on unglazed floor tiles, natural stones tiles with matt glaze or textured surfaces.
