Surface Preparation:
All surfaces should be between 40° F(4°C and 104° F(40°C) and structurally sound, clean and free of all dirt, oil, grease, loose peeling paint, laitance, concrete sealers or curing compounds

Check the surface to be true to plumb. All slabs must be plumb and true to within ¼” (6mm) in 10 ft(3m). Rough or uneven concrete surfaces should be made smooth with Screed/Plaster material to provide a wood float (or better) finish

Dry, dusty concrete slabs or masonry should be dampened and excess water swept off Installation may be made on a damp surface. New concrete slabs shall be damp cured and 28* days old before application

*No minimum cure time for concrete slabs when thin-set mortar is mixed with latex additive.

Expansion joints shall be provided through the tile work from all construction or expansion joints in the substrate. Do not cover expansion joints with thin set mortar. F o l l o w A N S I S p e c i fi c a t i o n A N – 3 . 8 “Requirements for Expansion Joints”

MIXING :

Place clean, potable water into a clean mixing bowl. Add ARROTILE GOLD POWDER into the mixing bowl. Use approximately 5.5 – 6.0L of water for 20 kg of powder. Mix by hand or with a slow speed mixer to a smooth, trowelable consistency. Allow adhesive to slake for 5 minutes. Adjust consistency if necessary.  Remix and apply with the proper sized
notched trowel.

NOTE : Addition of ARROTILE PLOYMIX latex admix*, partially or completely replacing water would enhance the bond strength, flexibility of the
thinset mortar.

* Contact ARROTILE technical services for large format tile or stone installations on exterior surfaces.

Application

Apply adhesive to the substrate with the flat side of the trowel, pressing firmly to work into surface. Comb on additional adhesive with the notched side. Use the proper sized notched trowel to ensure full bedding of the tile. Spread as much adhesive as can be covered with tile in 10 minutes. Back butter large format tiles (> 12”x12”) to provide full bedding and firm support. Place tiles into wet, sticky adhesive and beat in using a beating block and rubber mallet to embed tile and adjust level. Check adhesive for complete coverage by periodically removinga tile and inspecting bedding adhesive transfer onto back of tile.Use of Arrotile spacers is recommended to provide grout joints between tiles / stones. The joint width shall be as per the recommendation of architect / engineer. Remove the spacers when the
adhesive is set firm. If adhesive is skinned over (not sticky), remove and replace with fresh adhesive.
