Application

Surface Preparation:

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.

Mixing:

Fugalite  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.

Proportion:

Comes in preset ratio of 2.82 : 0.18 of the packs. Part A and B

Installation:

Fugalite  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. The working area should be covered and protected from sun light during the application of Fugalite in open areas like swimming pools. Keep the cover for a minimum period of 7 days to ensure adequate curing of the resin. Swimming pools can be filled up after a minimum period of 10 days after grouting.

Initial Cleaning:

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.

Final Cleaning:

Within 24 hours do a second cleaning with normal soap detergent to remove any haze from the tile.
