sufficient that can be used in 40 mins. Product that has started to

set must be discarded.Apply adhesive to the floor using a notched

trowel such that a continuous bed of adhesive between 3mm

and 6mm is achieved when tiles are applied.Adhesive should

also be applied to the back of deep studded tiles to cover the

studs. Ensure the adhesive is still moist when tiles are pressed
