1. Ready the site
1.1 Clean the site
- Make the site clean, dry, even, free of debris.
- Dry site matters. Wet or damp site would affect product's performance. It is another difference from water cleanable grout.
- Better to vacuum the joints. Too much dust left inside would affect the bonding.
1.2 Apply the wax
- Spread the cleaning paste (works as anti-bonding wax) lightly OVER the tile joint surface. Do not spread inside the joints.
- It facilitates the clean up of the cured grout excess a lot.
- It is a must for any rough, texture, abrasive, unglazed, or not smooth surface tile.
or Use the masking tape
- Able to peel off just after shaping the grout. Need not wait for the curing to remove the epoxy excess.
- Peel slowly to avoid to take out the grout from the joints.
or No wax and tape
- Only advised on glazed and even edge tile or stone.
2. Ready the cartridge
2.1 The seal and nozzle
- Keep the cap if to reseal for a next time usage. Store erectly.
- For 1/16" or 1/8" wide joint, the default 3/32" nozzle outlet is good to go. Just make sure no burr at the outlet.
- Cut or flatten the outlet if needed. Either a vertical or tilt cut is ok.
2.2 Load the cartridge
- Lock the cartridge neck in position to fix well.
2.3 Discard the 1st pump
- Get rid of the initial 4 inch material, of which the two components are regarded not mixed evenly, and thus not advised to grout the joint.
- Visually check the mixing state in the nozzle.
2.4 Pressure release
- To stop the material flowing out, press the pressure release button.
- To pull back or push forward the rods, also press this button.
3. Do the grouting
3.1 Dispense the grout
- Dispense slowly to make the joints fully packed and the material count.
- If material touches skin, use wet or alcohol wipe to clean.
3.2 Shape the joints
- Use the gadgets to shape the grout after finishing each cartridge, which normally takes about 10 minutes.
- The trick for shaping is to divide the excess from the grout inside the joints. It eases the residue removal after it cures.
3.3 Clean the shaper
- Use tissue or rag to clean the shaper after each press.
- If any voids spotted, use the material on the rag to refill.
- After shaping, leave the site as is for itself to cure. DO NOT use water or sponge to wash. It would cause mess.
3.4 Scrape the excess
- Scrape the cured excess and the job is done.
- It's able to scrape in 4 hrs at 77°F. Finger touch the excess to feel the set. Advise to scrape the next day.
- Colder weather, longer time to set. Hotter, sooner.
How Many Units for the Project?
Coverage
- Data is without considering the material loss.
Brick Bond, 50% Offset
- Say the tile is 12"×24", then the joint length to be grouted for this floor or wall is 84 ft.
- Suppose the joint size is 1/16" width × 1/8" depth, then 1 unit is enough.
Transverse line: 2'×4×7=56 ft
Vertical line: 1'×4×7=28 ft
Square Grid
- Say the tile is 12"×12", then the joint length to be grouted for this plane is 40 ft.
- Suppose the joint size is 1/8" width × 1/8" depth, then 1 unit is also enough.
Transverse line: 1'×5×4=20 ft
Vertical line: 1'×5×4=20 ft
Before You Buy
- Tool kit is included.
- This product is not for grouting small size tiles such as mosaic or subway. Too many lines.
- It is not water-cleanable. DO NOT use water or sponge to wash the excess.
- It is unsanded but with superior crack resistant and bonding strength.
- It is a little glossy, not matt.
- It takes time (4 hrs at 77°F) to set initially to start scraping the epoxy excess. It might be a drawback for a contractor if he originally does not have to return to the jobsite.
- Due to the epoxy's intrinsic character, bright white color may yellow a bit after long time exposure to UV. This might be a concern for the exterior application of this color.
- A new cartridge has to use a new mixing nozzle.
Applicable in Cold Weather
- In cold weather (below 40°F), the epoxy may become viscous and difficult to dispense out.
- Heat the cartridge with head down in hot water (140°F) for 20 minutes. This helps the grout flow.
- Palm holds the cartridge to feel the temperature.
- Use a heating bag if hot water is not available, which is helpful for frequent usages. Search B0DBLHZVZM as its ASIN.
