Application

The background and tiles must be clean, free of dust deposits, sinter skin, formwork oil and other contamination which may affected adhesion. To achieve a uniform thickness, the mortar is leveled with a serrated trowel. The thickness of the adhesive will depend upon the size and type of tile. Do not spread more than 1m2 at a time.
