Installation
Preparation
All surfaces on which tile is to be set must be dry, structurally sound, free of all grease, oil, dirt, dust, curing compounds, sealers, coating, efflorescence, old adhesive residues, gypsum based underlayment and any other foreign matter.
Proportion of Mixing
Light-Blue Crocodile Tile Adhesive 20 kg (per bag) per 5.2-5.4 L of water or 2.5-3.0 parts of Light-Blue Crocodile Tile Adhesive per 1 part water by volume.
Mixing
- Mix Tile Adhesive with clean, potable water thoroughly until smooth with a mechanical mixer at a low speed 150 rpm).
- Let mortar slakes for 15 minutes before mixing a second time.
- Do not add water, latex, or additional powder after slaking period.
Application
- Choose a typical notched trowel that is suitable with each type of tiles. Use flat side of the trowel, applying a film layer of tile adhesive into surface. Apply additional tile adhesive, sweep the surface with notched side of the trowel, held at 60 degrees to create the optimal texture in a single direction.
- Place the tiles into the surface, push the tiles back
and forth in a perpendicular direction with trowel
lines to help achieve maximum coverage and
arrange the tiles in place. - Use a rubber hammer to tap lightly on the tiles
surface to ensure that the tiles have completely
adhered to the tile adhesive. - Remove excess tile adhesive from the joint areas
to grouting. - Do not adjust tiles in mortar after they have been
set for longer than 15 minutes.
Curing and Grouting
- A minimum cure is obtained in 24-48 hours, depending
on ambient temperatures - For better quality, Crocodile Grout should be chosen to suit each type of tiles. Crocodile Grout has many types and color for each joints and places
Suggestion
Grouting after tile installation at least 48 hours to achieve maximum efficiency
Limitations
Do not use tile adhesive with wood, asphalt, plastic coat or PVC, metal and mirror. (Do not allow frost within 72 hours)
