Application guide

1. Ensure the substrate is sound, clean, dry and properly primed.
2. Spread adhesive with a suitable notch trowel at about 60 degrees and comb in one direction.
3. Press tiles firmly into the ribs and slide across the rib direction to collapse the ribs and remove voids.
4. Back butter large format tiles if required to achieve full coverage.
5. Clean excess adhesive from joints and tile faces with a damp sponge while wet.
