Support preparation:
Ensure it is clean, dry, free of contaminants, and perfectly level. Major deviations should be corrected with a leveling mortar before applying the adhesive.
Mix:
Add 5.0 to 5.5 liters of clean water per 25 kg bag. Mix with a mechanical mixer until you obtain a creamy, homogeneous paste. Let stand for 5-10 minutes and mix again without adding water.
Application:
Spread the adhesive with a notched trowel of at least 12 mm. For large sizes, it's recommended to also apply it to the back of the piece (double-glue) to ensure complete coverage.
Curing and finishing:
Avoid traffic and contact with water for at least 36 hours. Grout between 36 and 48 hours after installation.
Do not apply if the ambient temperature is less than 5 °C or greater than 35 °C
