APPLICATION
THIN-BED METHOD
NOTE: Mortar that has formed a skin should be re-troweled before applying tile. Use proper sized notched trowel (see diagram) to ensure 100% coverage of mortar to tiles substrate. Some irregular tiles require back-buttering. Follow ANSI 108.5 specifications.
THICK-BED METHOD
Add either of the following:
Float to desired thickness with large straight plane.
GROUT ADDITIVE

Mortar bed should be allowed to dry thoroughly before grouting. Approximately 48 hours for the thin-bed method, 72 hours for the mortar bed method. If the tile has a high absorption rate, application of a grout release agent is recommended.
