Calculate the surface area and refer to the coverage information on the bag, taking into account the size of the tiles and the notch size of the trowel used.

Troubleshooting

Tiles are not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, the adhesive is mixed correctly, and the tiles are pressed firmly into the adhesive. Check the expiration date of the adhesive.

Adhesive is difficult to spread.

Check the water ratio used during mixing. The mix may be too thick; add a little more water as needed, but do not exceed the manufacturer's maximum water recommendation.

Tiles are cracking after installation.

This could be due to excessive movement. Ensure the correct adhesive for the application was used and that expansion joints were incorporated where necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application: Apply the adhesive using a notched trowel, ensuring full coverage of the tile back.
Tile Placement: Position the tiles within the open time specified by the manufacturer. Press firmly to ensure good contact.
Curing: Allow the adhesive to cure completely before grouting. The curing time will vary depending on environmental conditions (temperature, humidity). Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
