Mixing

For the preparation of mortar adhesive, pour into a container 5.4 - 6.4 litres of water for 20 Kg bag of Vetoset CA547. Add the powder to the water and mix with a low speed 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 remix briefly with no further water to be added. 

It can also be blended manually for small quantity but ensure correct amount of powder to water is maintained. 

If required, add 0.5Ltr of Saveto Bond 2 to the mixing water followed by addition of powder.

Mixed material can be used within 2 hours. 

Do not add water to the mix, once the mortar adhesive starts to harden.

Application

Spread the mixed mortar adhesive and firmly pressed onto the surface to be tiled and work with notched trowel. Spread the mortar adhesive to an area that can be tiled within 10-15 minutes. Tiles are then firmly pressed over the mortar adhesive and immediately knocked into the  desired position. Position of the tiles can be adjusted, if required, within its adjustability time of  10-15 minutes after installation. Allow the installed tiles to remain undisturbed for at least 48 hours.

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

It is recommended to use Vetofill CG552 for filling the joint gaps after 2 days of tile installation.

Cleaning

Tools and equipment can be cleaned with water immediately after use. Hardened materials will require removal by mechanical means.
