Usage Instructions

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

Wet all surfaces (except gypsum boards) with clean water before applying Vetonit Porcelain Tile Fix. The surface should appear damp with no water pooling.

For the mortar adhesive preparation, pour 5-7 litres of water into a container then add the powder from the 20 Kg bag of Porcelain Tile Fix and mix using a low-speed electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle until a uniform, lump-free consistency is achieved. Allow the mixed material to stand for about 10 minutes and remix briefly without adding further water.

You can blend Vetonit Porcelain Tile Fix manually for small quantities, however, you must maintain the correct ratio of powder to water. Do not add water to the mixture once the mortar adhesive begins to harden.

Spread the mixed mortar adhesive using a notched trowel. Firmly press the mortar onto the surface that will be tiled then spread it to an area that can be tiled within 10 - 15 minutes. Press the tiles firmly over the mortar adhesive and immediately knock them into the desired position. Adjust the position of the tiles, if required, within the recommended adjustability time of 10 - 15 minutes after installation.

Leave installed tiles undisturbed for at least 48 hours. The mortar adhesive must not rise between the tile joints higher than half of the thickness of the tiles. It is recommended to use Vetonit Tile Grout to fill the joint gaps after 2 days of tile installation.

For further information regarding the suitable substrates and tiles on which this product can be safely applied, please contact Saveto’s technical department.

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