- Use the paste within 40 - 50 minutes from mixing
Application
- Using a hard rubber squeeze/ grout floater, press the grout firmly into the joints
- Hold the float at a 90° angle and pull it at a 45° angle diagonally across the joints
and tile to avoid pulling out
the material. .
- Ensure that joint is filled completely, and grout is not just sitting on top
- Remove access material on tiles within 60 minutes with help of wet sponge
Cleaning & Finishing
- Please take right/ complete proportion of all components (base, hardener & filler). Any
change in proportion
would not give correct product performance.
- Do not apply on wet/damp tile joints. Always apply on completely dry tile joints.
- Do not over-mix the material. Over-mixing can reduce the pot life
- Apply masking tapes along tile joints while working on unglazed floor tiles, porous
tiles & natural stones, tiles
with matt glaze or textured surfaces.
- While cleaning, change water frequently. Change cleaning cloth/ sponge when they are
impregnated with
grout
- Protect from direct rainfall/ foot traffic for at least 24 hours
