Installation:
- Surface
Preparation –Surfaces should be structurally sound, clean and free of
all dirt, oil, grease, loose peeling paint, laitance, concrete sealers or
curing compounds. Dry, dusty concrete slabs or masonry should be dampened
and excess water swept off.
- Mixing –Place
clean, potable water into a clean pail. Add thin set powder into the pail.
Use approximately 5 – 6L of water for 20 kg of powder. Mix by hand or with
a slow speed mixer to a smooth, trowel able consistency. Allow adhesive to
slake for 5-10 minutes. Adjust consistency if necessary. Remix and apply
with the proper sized notched trowel.
- Application –Apply
adhesive to the substrate with the flat side of the trowel, pressing
firmly to work into surface. Comb on additional adhesive with the notched
side. Use the proper sized notched trowel to ensure full bedding of the
tile. Spread as much adhesive as can be covered with tile in 10 minutes.
Back butter large tiles (> 12”x12”) to provide full bedding and firm
support. Place tiles into the wet, sticky adhesive and beat in using a
beating block and rubber mallet to embed tile and adjust the level. Check
adhesive for complete coverage by periodically removing a tile and
inspecting bedding adhesive transfer onto back of the tile. If adhesive is
skinned over (not sticky), remove and replace with fresh adhesive. It is
recommended to use spacers to create joints between tiles and subsequently
fill the joints with Renafix tile grout.
- Cleaning –Clean
all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
Hardened/cured material can only be removed mechanically.
