it dries. Remove any excess adhesive from the surface of the tile before it dries using a damp cloth.The adhesive bed
should not be less than 1.6mm or greater than 3.5mm thick.DO NOT USE between two non-porous surfaces as
the adhesive will not set. Not suitable for immersed applications. Construction Chemicals provide other systems.
