SURFACE PREPARATION

Before commencing grouting ensure that the tile adhesive has set firmly. The recommended tile adhesive to be used with Ressi TG 820 is of the Ressi TA range. The usual requirement for the drying of the tile adhesive is 24 hours. Remove any spacer, lugs, scrape out any excess adhesive any loose foreign material from the grout joints. The joints must be clean, free from dust deposits and other contaminations which may affect the adhesion. The suction in the background should be neutralizer by applying clean potable water. There should be no free water in the joints to be grouted as this could lead to de-bonding.

PRODUCT PREPARATION

Pour premeasured clean water into a clean bucket and then slowly add the grout powder stirring continually until a lump free toothpaste consistency is achieved. The powder should be added over the water to avoid the settlement of the material at the bottom of the mixing container. The Mixing container should be uncontaminated, non-corrosive and clean. Only potable water should be used for mixing. It is also recommended that the material should be mechanically mixed with a mortar mixer or other mechanical mixing methods to obtain a consistent lump free mix.

APPLICATION

Ressi TG 820 is to be applied with the tile joints using a rubber spatula, taking care to ensure that the grout is well compacted into the joints. The excess material on the surface of the tile should be removed using a dry cloth or sponge. Use a damp sponge to clean up the remainder of the grout. Regularly clean the sponge out to assist in cleaning
