Step-by-Step Mixing & Application Guidelines (How to Use):
- Surface Preparation: The surface to be tiled should be thoroughly cleaned of dust, dirt, oil, grease, polish etc.
- Mixing Ratio: Add water in an empty bucket. Mix 3 parts adhesive powder and 1 part water (5–7 litres of water for a 20 kg bag). The amount of water may be adjusted to get the desired consistency.
- Mixing: Mix the adhesive and water using a mixing machine until a smooth, lump-free paste is obtained.
- Application: Spread the adhesive paste to the required thickness using a flat spatula first, then comb with a serrated notched trowel.
- Tile Installation: Tiles should be installed within 10 to 15 minutes of spreading. Place the tiles on the surface and tap gently or use a tile vibrator so the back side gets 100% fixed completely.
- Curing: Allow the tiling to set for 24 hours. Fill the joints with Gaucera grout the next day.
