Directions for Use

Surface Preparation

  • The surfaces and joints must be clean, free from dust, loose material and adhesive residue.
  • Ensure that adhesive beneath the tiles has set before commencing with grouting.

Mixing

  • Mix TILE MAGIC WATERPROOF GROUT with clean water at a ratio of 4:1 (approximately 5kg to 1.25 litres of water).
  • Mix to a creamy consistency and allow to stand for 5 minutes and remix before use.
  • Do not add more water
  • Use within ± 1 ½ hours
  • Note when grouting in wet conditions and where added strength and flexibility, heavy traffic areas and where staining occurs, replace the mixing water with TILE MAGIC TILE BOND / TILE MAGIC TILE PRIMER.

Application

  • Apply TILE MAGIC WATERPROOF GROUT liberally into the joints using a rubber squeegee/pointing tool and ensure that the joints are completely filled.
  • Clean excess grout off tiles with a damp cloth as work progresses. Do not allow grout to dry on tiles as staining may occur. Allow 24 hours for grout to dry.
  • Allow grout to set before polishing tiles with a clean cloth. When using TILE MAGIC TILE BOND in the mix, the grout will be a shade darker. Any surface stain on the tiles can be removed with a tile cleaner depending on the characteristics of the tile.
  • The grout when used externally should be protected against inclement weather until set i.e. cover with plastic sheeting.

Coverage

Coverage depends on the size of the joint, type and size of tile. See grout formula to calculate precise coverage. (As a guide, on average a 5kg bag of grout will grout an area of 8 – 10m2)

Precaution

  • People with sensitive skin should wear rubber gloves. Seek medical attention if irritation or discomfort persists after contamination with adhesive. In case of eye contact, wash well with clean water and obtain medical assistance if discomfort persists.
  • Do not ingest.
  • Do not discharge into drains.
  • Keep away from children and pets.
  • Clean all equipment immediately after use with potable water.
  • Do not adulterate products as this may cause failure.
  • Structural movement joints must be respected and joints must be provided for (details available).
