Surface Preparation

Before starting to grout remove spacers and debris in grout joints and remove dust and dirt using a wet sponge. Do not leave water standing in joints.

Mixing

Stir L1776 GROUT ADMIX thoroughly before use. Use approximately 1.75 litres of L1776 for 10 kg of L500 powder. Place L1776 in a clean mixing container and add grout powder slowly. Mix by hand or with a slow speed mixer to a smooth stiff consistency.

Application

Dampen tile surface with water. Spread with a sharp, firm rubber grout float. Work the grout paste into the joints until completely filled. Use diagonal strokes to pack the joints. Ensure that joint is filled and grout is not just sitting on top

Note: For fuller flush joints sprinkle a thin layer of dry grout powder over surface immediately after grouting. When grout darkens over joint, buff with burlap, carpet remnant or cotton rag to pack joint and clean face of tile.

Cleaning

Grout Primary Cleaning – Remove excess grout from the face of the tiles with the edge of the grout float. 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.

Grout Secondary Cleaning – Remove remaining grout with a damp sponge (not wet) or a damp towel. Work diagonally to the joints. Allow to dry. When the grout joints are firm polish the surface with a coarse nylon pad or coarse cloth and minimal water.
