Surface Preparation, Mixing & Application
Surface Preparation
- The surface should be free from voids, holes and cracks, and thoroughly cleaned of all loose materials, dust, sand, oil, grease, etc.
- Ensure that the surface is flat, structurally sound, and free from any other contamination that would reduce the bond strength.
- Pre-wet the surface and ensure it is touch dry before this bed adhesive is applied.
Mixing
- Fill a clean pot with potable water measuring 22-26% of the weight of Consto Bond XT (approx. 4.5 litre per bag of XT).
- Pour XT into the water, mix and knead slowly to make a homogeneous paste. Let the mixture stand for 2 minutes, then mix again without adding more water.
Application
- Apply the XT paste on a clean, pre-wet base surface from bottom to top, evenly, to form the bedding layer of required thickness using a notched trowel. Remove any extra XT for reuse.
- Spread no more than the area that can be tiled within the open time of the adhesive.
- Fix the tiles by pressing & twisting so no air gap is left, then set with a wooden hammer. Open time depends on site conditions and will extend in lower temperatures and shorten at higher temperatures.
- Remove extra material with a wet cloth. The tile fixing is now complete. Periodically check that good contact is maintained with the back of each tile.
- Leave adequate joints between individual wall and floor tiles unless self-spacing tiles are used.
