INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Residues that will prevent adhesion on the surface should be cleaned. 25 kg EKOKAT GRASTONE ADH adhesive is slowly poured into 6-7 liters of water and is then mixed with a low speed (400-600 rpm) mixer. The homogenous mortar is allowed to rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then mixed again once before application. The mixture should be used in one hour. The mortar should be notched with a notched trowel suitable for the tile dimensions. Ceramics should be glued to the notched mortar in 20 minutes. The mortar should not be used if its usage time has expired and it has been scabbed. The mortar should be applied at the specified application temperature, and protected from direct sun, wind and frost. Joint application should be done 24 hours later on the wall and 48 hours later on the floor.
