APPLICATION
Apply a thin coat of mixed hydroment NATA
with the flat edge of the trowel to achieve
good mechanical bonding with the substrate.
Comb motar with the appropriate size of
notched trowel. For tiles with deep grooves
and ridges, it may be necessary to butter the
back as well so that proper adhesion and
support occurs.
Re-comb mortar if any evidence of skinning
or before setting occurs. Do not spread more
mortar than can be covered with tiles within
10-15 minutes.
Press tiles in a twisting motion into fresh
mortar bed. Promptly beat in tile to ensure
maximum contact and bond. Occassionally
check backs of tile to ensure at least 80%
adhesives transfer for internal installations
and at least 90% transfer for exterior
installation.
The coverage of the adhesive is dependent
on the size and type of notch and tiles used.
