Usage Instructions

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

Ensure that the surface is solid and strong for tiling – especially when the tiles are very large. 

The non-absorbent substrates should be primed by Vetobond AB432 or Vetoprime CP436.

Into a container, pour 5.6 - 6.4 liters of water for each 20kg Marble Max bag. Add the powder to the water and mix using a low-speed electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle until achieving a uniform, lump-free consistency; leave the mixed material to stand for about 10 minutes maturing time and remix briefly without adding further water before use. 

Marble Max can be manually mixed as long as the correct amount of powder to water is added. 

Use the mixed material within 3 hours.

Apply the Marble Max on the substrate by using a suitable trowel depending on the tile size, then comb it in one direction, apply Marble Max on the tile backside using the flat edge of the trowel and do not comb (Back buttering). install the tile in its place and tap and press firmly (or use tile fixing vibrator) to ensure that the tile sitting on the substrate with the maximum coverage and contact between the tile back and the adhesive on the substrate. 

Do not apply Marble Max on an area that takes more than 15 minutes to be tiled! 

Useful practice to check the application efficiency is to remove a tile after application directly and observe the contact surface (adhesive on substrate and tile back), this can be done randomly as per the applicators point of view then reinstall again (this should be done always for the first Tile, so that the applicator will have an idea on how much adhesive needed for the best contact).

 Recommended coverage to be 100 % externally and internally. The tile position can be adjusted without losing any adhesion for 15 minutes. 

Allow the installed tiles to remain undisturbed for at least 24 hours. Marble Max 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.

Allow the tiles to dry for a week before proceeding to use as normal. 

Note: 

Low temperature and high air humidity will retard the curing and drying process and vis versa. 

The best coverage is when it applied on flat surfaces.
