How to apply:
- Add 25 kg of “MYMIX – GTA (Glass Tile Adhesive) to approx. 6.5 liters to 7.5 liters of cool and clean tap water and stir properly for 5 minute, by hand or an electric stirrer , to get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
- After stirring wait for 10 minutes, stir once again and apply the adhesive on the subfloor with the recommended adhesive notch trowel.
- Press the tiles within 15 to 20 minutes with a shuffling movement into the adhesive. Check regularly to ensure that the back of the tile is in full contact with the adhesive. Remove excess adhesive immediately from the joints.
- The proper preparation of the surface will make the fixing easier and quicker ensuring a better finish. The surface should be flat with a tolerance of 4mm over a distance of 2 meters. It is essential that you waterproof wet areas prior to tiling.
- New concrete is recommended to be 1 month old for every 25mm thickness and completely dried before tiling.
- Under normal circumstances, i.e. a temperature of 20° C and a relative humidity of 65%, the joints may be filled after minimum 24 hours.
