Preparation    The tiling surface must be clean, dry, firm, free of dust, dirt, oil and grease, and be strong enough to support the weight of the adhesive and tiles being fixed
Application    Apply the adhesive to a thickness of 3-6mm up to 1 square metre in one pass. On interior walls use the notched trowel method.
