GREY ONE POT
DESCRIPTION
Grey One Pot is a grey, acrylic based, flexible, premixed,
interior, thin bed, wall and floor tile adhesive.
USES
• Grey One Pot can only be used for interior wall and
floor tiling installations.
• Grey One Pot can be used for thin bed fixing of
tiles directly onto fibre cement sheeting,
plasterboard and rendered walls, as well as timber
floors, with a correctly installed fibre cement sheet
tile underlay.
• Grey One Pot, when used on floor areas is only
suitable for light domestic trafficked areas.
• Grey One Pot can be used to fix most types of
porous ceramic and marble wall and floor tiles, with
the exception of light coloured or green marble.
• When using Grey One Pot with translucent/
absorbent tiles, the colour of the adhesive must be
considered, so as to avoid discolouration
problems.
• Grey One Pot must not be applied directly over
concrete, timber or waterproofing membranes.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
• Water resistant bond
• Will absorb vibration and reduce sound
transmission
• Pre-mixed – ready for use!
• No need for messy mixing – easy to use!
• High bond strength
SURFACE PREPARATION
• All surfaces must be structurally sound, dry, clean
and free from movement, oil, grease, wax, curing
compounds and any other loose or contaminating
materials.
• All building boards must be flat and firmly fixed
according to the manufacturer’s instructions and
relevant Australian Standard(s).
• Painted surfaces must be scabbled/abraded to
expose at least 80% of the original substrate.
• Newly rendered surfaces must be allowed to cure
for at least 7 days and have a wood float finish.
• Old rendered surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned
prior to tiling and have a wood float finish.
• Porous/dusty surfaces must initially be primed
using Davco Ultraprime.
Movement joints should be provided as follows:
1. Over movement joints in the background.
2. At a junction between different background
materials
3. At fixtures interrupting the tile surface eg columns.
4. At internal vertical corners.
5. Around the perimeter of the tiling system.
6. At a maximum of 5 metre intervals in a grid pattern.
Note: Movement joints should go right through the tile
and adhesive bed to the background and be kept free
from dirt and adhesive droppings. Movement joints
should not be less than 6mm wide nor greater than
10mm wide. Movement joints that are 6mm wide can
be filled with Davco Sanitized® Colorcaulk. For wider
applications use Davco Davsil or polyurethane type
fillers.
APPLICATION
• Spread the adhesive onto the substrate using a
6mm x 6mm notched trowel for installation of wall
tiles up to 150mm x 150mm.
• For the installation of floor tiles or wall tiles larger
than 150mm x 150mm use a 10mm x 10mmnotched
trowel.
• Tiles with lugs, grooves or an uneven back must
initially be butter coated with the adhesive, in
addition to the adhesive being trowelled onto the
substrate.
• For mosaic tiles, use a 6mm x 6mm-notched
trowel.
• A minimum final bed thickness of 2mm is
recommended for wall tiles, whilst a minimum final
bed thickness of 3mm is recommended for floor
tiles, but the final bed thickness in either case must
not exceed 4mm.
• Do not spread more than 1m2 of adhesive at any
one time.
• Press tiles firmly into position before the adhesive
skins, ensuring that all the tiles are well bedded
and that no voids occur under the tiles.
• Occasionally, in order to ensure that full coverage
is being maintained, a tile should be removed, the
adhesive coverage noted and the tile be relaid
accordingly.
• Once the tiles have been laid, they must not be
disturbed for 24 hours at 20oC.
GROUTING
• Grouting can be carried out 24 hours after the
completion of tiling.
• Use the Davco grout that best suits the tiling
installation. Refer to the Davco Adhesive and
Grout Selection Guide for further information.
• To enhance colour, increase water resistance and
flexibility of the grout, use Davco Grout Additive.
This is particularly recommended when grouting
over timber or fibre cement sheeted floors, to
minimise the likelihood of the grout
cracking/powdering.
• Allow 24 hours after grouting before putting the
area into service.
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not apply Grey One Pot in temperatures above
40oC or below 5oC.
• Do not allow the adhesive to skin prior to laying the
tiles. If the adhesive skins, remove and dispose of
it, then re-apply fresh adhesive.
• Do not use Grey One Pot over impervious surfaces
(ie waterproofing membranes) or to bond low
porosity tiles (ie tiles with a water absorption of 3%
or less).
• Grey One Pot is not suitable for fixing tiles
externally or directly onto timber floors.
• Grey One Pot is not suitable for the tiling of areas
where continual dampness/immersion occurs, such
as shower recess bases, swimming pools, spas,
etc.
• For other uses or the use of Grey One Pot over
substrates/situations not mentioned in these
instructions, contact your ParexDavco (Australia)
Pty Ltd state office.

tiles with a damp cloth, while the adhesive is still

adhesive dries.
