METHOD OF APPLICATION

Substrate preparation

Tile walls should be free from dust, grease, oils, paints or any other contamination.

Mixing

Add 30% clean water (0.3 lt water per 1 kg bag) to a clean, suitable mixing container. Slowly add the dry powder and mix for at least 3 minutes by slow speed mixer (maximum 500 rpm) and until a homogeneous mixture, free of lumps with a creamy consistency is achieved. Do no mix more Sika® Tile Grout than which can be placed within approximately 20 minutes.

Application

Apply Sika® Tile Grout onto the tile surface and fully pack the joints using diagonal strokes. Use a hard rubber grouting float. Excess grout should be
cleaned off the tile surface with a wet sponge while the grout is still fresh. Control joints should be used at all times to ensure uniformity of joint widths.

Curing

Where ambient conditions may lead to rapid surface drying, the use of light water fogging for 48 hours, wet hessian or a suitable water based curing
compound is recommended. Do not commence fogging until final set has been reached.
