Application Instruction
Substrate Preparation
Make sure the surface is clear of dirt, dust, debris, grease, and other contaminants and that it is dry and clean. To ensure the best adhesion, level the surface and fix any cracks or uneven spots.
Dampen the wall before the application of adhesive.
Clean the back of a tile for any dust or coating.
Mixing
Add Gold Star Magic to clean water in a clean container and mix thoroughly until a lump-free mortar is achieved. Use approximately 5–6 litres of water for a 20 kg bag. You can mix the products by hand or with an electric drill mixer at a low speed (less than 300 rpm). Do not over-mix. Overmixing can introduce air bubbles into the adhesive, which might weaken the bond.
Application
- Spread Adhesive:
Apply the mixed adhesive to the prepared surface using a trowel. Comb through the adhesive with a suitably sized square-toothed notched trowel. Larger tiles require a larger notch to provide sufficient adhesive coverage. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of heavy or large tiles to improve bonding.
- Fixing Tiles:
-
- Position tiles within the open time, pressing them into place with a twisting and sliding motion to ensure solid bed fixing.
- Use a leveller to ensure the tile is correctly positioned.
- Put tile spacers between tiles to keep the grout lines straight.
- Clean off any surplus adhesive from the tile face and joints using a damp sponge while the adhesive is still fresh.
