Allow the paste to rest for approximately 10 minitues, then re-stir before using it.

Step 3 - Spreading the mix

Spread the paste to the substrate at bed thickness of 3-6mm (may vary depending on tile size and weight) with appropriate notched trowel. It also applicable up to 12mm in small isolated areas.
Spread no more than 1m² at a time to prevent skin-over.

Step 4 - Installing the tile

Tiles should be fixed dry, they should not be soaked. Recommended to use damp cloth to clean the dusty tile back.
Tiles should be installed under a firm pressure, and followed by slight twisting action to ensure good coverage and contact of the adhesive (Solid Bed Fixing).
Tiles must be installed on the fresh adhesive bed with its recommended open time before skin-over of the adhesive occurs.
Allocate tile joints of approximately 3mm wide between tiles.
Remove surplus adhesuve from tile surface and joints before it hardens.
