MIXING
- Measure the right amount of clean, potable water into a clean bucket.
- Slowly add the powder into the water while mixing with a mixing paddle attached to a drill. Do not mix by hand.
- Continue to mix for several minutes until a creamy consistency is achieved, free of lumps of powder.
- Allow mixture to stand for 5 minutes, remix then use the grout.
- The grout may stiffen during the pot life, restir without adding additional water.
APPLICATION
- Prior to grouting it is advisable to lightly dampen the grout joints, particularly with porous tiles or in warmer conditions. If the tiles are particularly porous it is advisable to prime the joints with Davco 4 in 1 Grout Additive after dampening to seal the edge of the tile.
- Using a rubber float or squeegee work the grout into the joints in a diagonal motion making sure that the grout does not just sit on top of the joint i.e. the grout does not bridge the joint.
- Remove excess grout from the surface of the tiles with the rubber float or squeegee using a diagonal motion.
- Use a damp sponge to clean up the remainder of the grout. Regularly rinsing the sponge out to assist in cleaning.
- Finally remove any excess moisture from the grout joints, to avoid discolouration or colour variation problems.
- Allow the grout to cure for 24 hours before cleaning the grout haze with a soft dry cloth.
- Hard to remove haze can be cleaned with Davco Sanitized® Tile & Grout Cleaner.
- Allow product to set firmly before return to service
- Setting times of grout is affected by site conditions, climate and could be faster or slower than specified
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean tools and equipment with water before the grout dries.
