Joint Preparation

Ensure that the tile adhesive has cured sufficiently before grouting. All joints must be clean and free from dust, debris, adhesive residues, oil, grease and any contaminants that may affect adhesion.

Remove excess adhesive from the joints to provide a consistent and adequate depth for the grout.

Mixing

1. Mix complete packs only. Do not divide the components.
2. Pour the entire contents of the hardener container into the resin-base container.
3. Mix thoroughly for approximately 30 seconds using a slow-speed electric drill fitted with a suitable mixing paddle.
4. Transfer the mixed liquid into a clean mixing container.
5. Gradually add the complete filler component while mixing continuously.
6. Continue mixing for approximately two minutes until a smooth, homogeneous mixture with a uniform color is obtained.

Application

1. Apply the mixed EPO GROUT using a suitable spatula or grout float.
2. Work the grout firmly into the spaces between the tiles and around their edges.
3. Ensure that the joints are completely filled and free from voids.
4. Remove surplus grout from the tile surfaces before the material hardens.
5. Use a dry cloth for initial cleaning.
6. When required, use a small quantity of WHITE SAND SOLV 10 to assist with cleaning.

Cleaning

Clean tools and mixing equipment with WHITE SAND SOLV 10 before the grout hardens. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
