Instructions for Use
Surfaces to be tiled must be clean, dry and sound. Porous surfaces, including plaster, must be primed with FEBOND PVA diluted 1 to 4 with water and allowed to dry before tiling. Allow new plaster to dry at least one month before tiling. Apply adhesive to wall at a depth of 3-6mm (no less than 3mm, no greater than 6mm) combing out an area no greater than 1m² at a time. In dry situations, use a suitable notched trowel across the surface of the adhesive before placing the tiles into position and securing with a slight twist action to remove air voids.

In areas subject to wet conditions, do not use a notched trowel. Bed the tiles directly into the surface of the adhesive and again, secure with a slight twist action. In both situations, it is good practice to periodically remove a tile and check that at least 75% of the tile is covered in adhesive. If this is not the case, apply fresh adhesive and reposition. All surplus adhesive must be removed whilst adhesive is still wet using a dampened cloth or sponge, particularly along grout lines.

Coverage
Approximately 1.5kg/m² (6mm notched trowel) to 2.3kg/m² (solid bed).

Storage
Store in cool dry conditions – PROTECT FROM FROST.
