Application
Substrate preparation : Ensure to maintain 2 - 5 mm wide joint using spacers while fixing the tiles in position. Immediately after setting the tiles & rake joints Clean to a uniform depth corresponding to the thickness of the tile. Allow bedding mortar to set.
Mixing
-
Decide the gauging water in the range of 390 - 450 ml. per kg of SUN JOINT FILLER based on the consistency of mixed grout required environmental conditions and open time warranted for the application.
-
Fill gauging water in a clean mixing container. Add powder and stir until a plastic, lump-free grout is achieved.
-
Leave to stand for 5 minutes before using.
-
Apply to the joints with a squeegee or rubber float. Fill joint flush with tile surface. Re-grout if necessary. Allow the grout to firm up in the joint (until it is resistance to thumb use thumb pressure) and scrap off excess grout with a sightly damp sponge or sponge board.
-
After drying remove the remaining grout film with a damp sponge. Do not use a dry cloth for cleaning as there is risk of discolouration by rubbing dried grout in to the damp joint.
Watch Point
-
A grout film and/or pigment stains especially with very dark colours may remain on unglazed or matt glazed tiles after grouting. Follow the tile manufacture's recommendations. A trial grouting might be recommendable. Remove any remaining have carefully while still fresh. Joint have to be adequately pre-wet if acid-wash is necessary.
-
Never add water or fresh grout and/or powder to a grout mix which has already begun to set.
-
Sight deviations in colour of SUN JOINT FILLER grout are possible. it is therefore recommended to only use grout with the same batch number for the same project.
-
For optimum hydration of cement make sure to keep the surface moist by sprinkling water (in particular with non-absorbent tiles and adhesives)
-
Exposure to add-containing, cement-attacking cleaning agents can cause damage to hardened grout.
