APPLICATION
Tiles shall be fixed in accordance with AS3958.1-2007.
Ensure the backs of tiles are free from dust and contaminates.
Appliy th paste adhesive to the substrate with the appropriate sized trowel to acheive coverage requirements on both substrate and the back of the tile. Tiles may require "back-buttering" to acheive minimum coverage requirements.
Apply the adhesive with the notched trowel in a single direction. While pressing the tile into the wet adhesive break the ridges with the tile to fully bed the tile into the adhesive.
It is advisable to periodically check the backs of the tiles to ensure minimum adhesive coverage requirements are being acheived.
Only apply enough adhesive that can be covered prior to the adhesive skinning. If skinning occurs remove and replace with fresh adhesive.
Remove any excess adhesives from the face and joints with a damp sponge while the adhesive is still wet. Ensure grout joint are of uniform depth.
Expansion and control joints must be installed as per AS ISO 3958.1-2007.

Tools and equipment can be cleaned with water while the adhesive is still wet.
