Application

Ensure surfaces to be tiled must be firm and clean from dust, paint and other contaminants.

Mixing
Mix the powder with sufficient water to a creamy consistency 6 to 7.5 litre clean water. Mix sufficient to last 30 minutes. Allow mixture to stand for 2-3 minutes.

Application
Sand/ cement render should be left with a woodfloat finish. It must be clean and free from dust and oil. Allow 7 days after rendering before fixing tiles with PYE TILE BOND 08. Use a notched trowel to spread the adhesive on the surface to a thickness of about 5mm for flat-backed ceramic tiles. Tiles with grooves, ridges or knobs on the back should be laid using 6mm x 6mm notched trowel. Press tiles in place with a twisting motion. Firmly tap the tile with the handle of a hammer or rubber mallet whilst positioning the tiles. When laying large areas, ensure that expansion joints are incorporated in the design stage.

Cleaning of Equipment
Clean all tools and application equipment with clean water immediately after use. Hardened or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
