Application Procedure
The substrate should be sound and free from grease, paint and other contaminants. Mix CMI TILEFIX GREY 181 into approximately 6 liters of clean water until a slump free consistency is attained. Allow mixture to stand for 10 minutes before mixing again. For fixing of exterior tiles, CMI MORTAR ADMIX 380 is recommended to replace water. Spread mixture with a notched – trowel onto substrates or by buttering backface of tile. For heavier tiles or tiles with high grooves or ridges, combination of both is recommended. Do not spread adhesive more than 1 m.sq. at a time and ensure that tiles should be fixed immediately or within 10 minutes. The tiles should be firmly pressed onto sub—base and immediately knocked into position. In case of long delay, remove the existing adhesive and comb out a fresh layer. Ensure that backface of the tile is in good contact with the adhesive for best results.
*Important : Tiles must not be soaked in water.
Storage
Storage life is approximately 6 months if stored in a cool and dry place
