As a grout: before grouting joints, check that tiles have been fixed correctly and are anchored perfectly to the surface. Substrates must be perfectly dry. Grout joints in accordance with the recommended waiting time indicated on the relative data sheet for the adhesive used. Joints must be free from any excess adhesive, even if already hardened. Furthermore they must be of an even depth for the whole width of the tile covering. Any dust and loose debris must be removed from joints by carefully cleaning them with vacuum cleaner. The surface of the coating material to be grouted must be dry and free from dust.
As an adhesive: substrates must be compact and solid, free of dust, oil and grease, dry and free from moisture rising, with no loose debris or flaky parts such as residues of cement, lime and paint coatings, which must be completely removed. The surface must be stable, without cracks and have already completed the curing period of hygrometric shrinkage. Uneven areas must be corrected with suitable smoothing and finishing products. On screeds and plasters which are highly absorbent and have dusty, flaky surfaces, it is advisable to apply one or more coats of Primer A Eco water-based, eco-friendly surface isolation primer, following the instructions provided, in order to reduce the water absorption and improve spreadability of the adhesive.
Fugalite Eco Invisibile is prepared by mixing together parts A and B from the bottom upwards, Mix with a margin trowel or a slow speed drill mixer, respecting the preset ratio of 2.82 : 0.18 of the packs. Pour part B into the bucket containing part A, being careful to mix the two parts uniformly until a smooth, even colored mixture is obtained. In any case, mix only enough grout that can be used in full within 30 min.

Application as grout: Fugalite Eco Invisibile must be applied evenly on the tile / mosaic using a hard rubber squeeze / grout float, press the grout firmly into the joints in a continuous manner, leaving it flush with the tile edge. Hold the float at a 90° angle and pull it at a 45° angle diagonally across the joints and tile to avoid pulling out the material. Work in small areas to have better control on removing the excess grout from joints and surface by moving the squeeze diagonally to the grout lines. It is recommended that a test be carried out in advance before laying to ensure the surface can be properly cleaned.
Application as an adhesive: Fugalite Eco Invisibile can be applied with a suitable toothed trowel, to be chosen according to the size and type of mosaic. Using the smooth part of the trowel, apply a fine layer of product, pressing down onto the surface in order to ensure maximum adhesion, after which the thickness can be adjusted as required by tilting the trowel at an angle. Apply the adhesive to a surface area that will allow fixing of the coating material within the open time indicated. Press down the pieces of mosaic using a rubber coated trowel to allow for maximum coverage of the surface.
After 30-45 min of the application of the grout scrub the surface of the tile & joint with clean water and scrubber provided to remove any excess grout. Use the sponge in circular motion to get optimum results. Then take a clean thick white towel and drag across the tile to remove any residue.
Within 24 hours do a second cleaning with normal soap detergent to remove any haze from the tile.
Light foot traffic approximately 2 – 3 days
Heavy foot traffic approximately 3 – 4 days
Please refer the Grout calculator as it depends on the tile size, joint width and depth.
