Cautions

2. Moisture the floor or wall surface before placing tile.
3. Lay the tile with good pressure to ensure good contact with adhesive.
4. To fill the tile gaps using white cement grout after placing 2 to 3 hours, the ratio of white cement with sand is 1 to 1. Make sure the grouting is full and evenly between the tile gaps. Then, clean the tile surface with moisture sponge.
5. The initial compressive setting remnant adhesive mortar can be applied again while add water and mixed with new prepared adhesive mortar.
6. Sun shading equipment should be used when the environmental temperature is higher than 35℃to avoid tile materials dehydration. The lowest applying temperature should be above 4℃..
