Vetoset CA546

The surface should be sound, clean, free from loose material, grease, laitance, dirt, curing compound, etc. 

Wet all surfaces with clean water before the application of Vetoset CA546. The surface should appear damp with no water pooling.

To prepare mortar adhesive, pour into a container 6.0- 6.5 liters of water for each 20 Kg bag of Vetoset CA546. Add the powder to the water and mix with a low speed (200-300 rpm) electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle for 3-4 minutes until a uniform, lump-free consistency is achieved. 

Allow the mixed material to stand for about 10 minutes and briefly remix without adding extra water.

Spread the mixed Vetoset CA546 mortar adhesive and firmly press it onto the surface that will be tiled; work with a notched trowel. Spread the mortar adhesive to an area that can be tiled within 10 minutes. 

Place the tiles onto the fresh adhesive mortar and firmly press them with a slight twist; immediately knock them into the desired position. Adjust the position of the tiles, if required, within its adjustability time of 10-15 minutes after installation. 

Mortar adhesive must not rise between the tile joints higher than halfway the thickness of the tiles. 

Remove excess adhesive with a damp cloth before it dries. Joints grouting between tiles may be commenced after 24 hours for walls and 48 hours for floors using Vetonit Tile Grout.

Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Remove the hardened material using mechanical means.
