Application
The mortar is applied to the surface and its thickness is adjusted with the notched trowel according to the size of the ceramic and the smoothness and evenness of the application surface. As the size of the ceramic increases it is recommended to do a double-sided application. The tiles should then be placed onto the combed mortar surface with the help of a rubber hammer in 30 minutes. Under undesirable weather conditions such as high temperature, low humidity, wind, etc. this time period may decrease. The fresh mortar should be used up within 3 hours. Under no circumstances should the expired mortar be used. The dredge size of the notched trowels according to the ceramic tile sizes: Tile Size Recommended Dredge Size < 25 cm² 3 mm 25 -100 cm² 4 mm 100 - 400 cm² 6 mm <1600 cm² 10 mm
