Application Method
Preparation of Surface
New surfaces: Ensure that all dust, dirt and foreign matter are scraped and brushed away. Also ensure the surfaces are free from salts, oil, grease and ridges. Protect all adjacent surfaces not to be covered. All cracks, chips, voids and damages should be repaired with Terraco Handycoat Exterior.
Old surfaces: Before applying to old surfaces, ensure the substrate is firm. First wash down the surface with a sugar soap solution, rinse and allow to dry before repairing or applying the primer.
Application & Cleaning of tools
Apply Terrapaste P12 in a layer approximately 3mm thick to the surface with the smooth side of a notched trowel. Pull the trowel through the applied layer using the notched side. Push and twist the tiles into place so that full adherence is obtained. Fix tiles before the adhesive layer is surface dry. Plan work accordingly.
Do not allow a “skin” to form on the surface of applied adhesive.
Clean tools and equipment with water after use
Cleaning of tools
Remove excess adhesive from the face of the tile with a wet sponge before the adhesive dries.
Expansion joints
Expansion joints, when necessary, should be incorporated at the design stage.
