● A smooth final surface.

● Good abrasion resistance.

● Low shrinkage, therefore absence of cracks and fissures.

● The joint gaps should be dry, clean, and solid.

● The joint gaps should be free of adhesion preventive foreign substances such as dust, dirt, cement residues, etc.

● The joint gaps should be at least 2/3 of the tile thickness.

● When laying the tiles, the adhesive or mortar overflowing into the joint cavities should be cleaned before it hardens.

● Dampen the joints with clean water when using very porous ceramic tiles high temperatures or in windy weather conditions.

● Adhesive must be cured prior to grouting.

● Pour Fuga slowly on clean water at an amount specified in the technical table and mix until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. A low speed mixer is recommended to mix. The amount of water should be precisely measured. Do not add any additive which is not mentioned in the application instructions, Adding water more or less than specified amount may cause cracking, dusting and color defects.

● Allow the mortar to stand for 5-10 minutes to mature. After 1-2 minutes of remixing, the paste is ready for application.

● Use the mixture within 1 hour of preparation.

● Fill the joints completely with Fuga by using the appropriate rubber trowel, make sure that the joints are completely compacted. Remove the excess Fuga from the surface.

● When the grout mortar filled into the joint cavity loses its water and becomes dull, usually after about 10-20 minutes, the surface should be cleaned in a circular motion with a wet sponge. This period may be shortened in applications made in unfavorable ambient conditions such as direct sun, wind, etc, when coating materials have waited under the sun or have high absorbency. The problem of fluctuation in the color may be encountered if the wiping is done too soon or when using a very wet sponge. The sponge should be cleaned frequently and water inside the bucket must be renewed frequently to prevent the development of a haze on the tile surface.

● After making sure that Fuga grout mortar is cured enough not to drain from the joint, the residues on the surface should be cleaned with the help of a dry cloth.

● The materials such as natural stone, cotto, clinker and granite ceramic which are sensitive to stain should be protected .

● If the surface of walls and floors are still contaminated with Fuga use Cement Remover to clean, at least 10 days after grouting the joints.

● Dispose mortars of which pot life is expired.

● All tools and hands should be cleaned with water before drying after the application.

● If Fuga is applied in extremely hot, dry or windy climates, it is recommended to wet the joints after several hours to improve the final performance.

● Should be kept dry and cool at between °5+C and °35+C in damp free conditions, Avoid direct sunlight.

● Should be protected from water, frost and adverse weather conditions.

● Maximum 3 pallets should be stacked on top of each other.

● Under above mentioned storage conditions. Shelf life is maximum 12 months.
