Method of Application
-
Surface Prearation
- The Substrate on which marble to be fixed should be well compacted, properly cured, free from air voids, dimensionally stable, should be concrete/plastered/ screed base.
- Substrate must be cleaned to remove dust, loose particles, oil, grease or other type of material that may affect the adhesion of the adhesive to the base.
- For neutralizing the suction of the background pre wetting must be done by spraying clean potable water. Water absorption of the Marble or Tile must be neutralized by clean potable water.
- Allow free water to disperse completely before the application of TAG324.
-
MixingMix TAG324 with specified quantity of clean potable water (25% to the weight of dry mix) in a suitable vessel with electrical stirrer. Take water in the mixing vessel and add the dry mix in it, start the mixing slowly and then vigorously to make a homogeneous limps free thick mortar. Leave the mixed Adhesive for about 5-10 minutes and mix again without adding any extra quantity of water.
-
ApplicationApply the TAG324 on the prepared surface with the help of a serrated trowel. Comb the surface of the adhesive with gentle pressure using the notched edge of the trowel. Fix the Marble/Tile immediately by pressing them firmly in the position with slight sliding and twisting action. For tiles with deep studs on the back, apply adhesive to the back of the tiles to fill the space between the studs. The Marble/Tile should be firmly pressed into the wet TAG324 to ensure firm bedding. For good results do not spread wet mortar on more than 1m2 at a time. Marble/Tile should not be fixed on dry and set Tile Adhesive.
- PrecautionsApplication and performance of TAG324 may be affected by harsh weather conditions such as strong wind, sunshine, hot weather and rain. Hence all possible protective measures should be adopted during the application of TAG324. Stucco will not be responsible for any claim arising out to non-performance of the product due to incorrect application procedure or usage of product for Procedure or usage of product for non-recommended purpose. Please contact our technical team for more details on application of TAG324 for purpose other than mentioned above hard or lumpy material must be not be used.
- Health & SafetyTAG324 has no specific health hazards. It is non-toxic but contains Portland cement, which after mixing with water becomes strongly alkaline and may cause skin irritation, if exposed to such condition for a long time. Avoid inhalation of dust and in case of contact with eyes and skin, wash with plenty of clean water and take medical help if required. Work in well-ventilated condition and use protective kits such as mask, gloves and spectacles. Keep the material out of the reach of children.
- Storage TAG-324 must be protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Store off the ground in a cool and dry place.
