1.1 Clean the site

• Make the site clean, dry, even, free of debris.
• Dry site matters. Wet or damp site would affect product's performance. It is a difference from water cleanable grout.
• Better to vacuum the joints. Too much dust left inside would affect the bonding.

1.2 Apply the wax

• For any abrasive or unsmooth tile, spread the cleaning paste (works as anti-bonding wax) lightly OVER the tile joint edge. Do not spread inside the joints.
• It facilitates the clean up of the cured grout excess a lot.

or Use the masking tape

• Able to peel off just after shaping the grout. Need not wait for the curing to remove the epoxy excess.
• Peel slowly to avoid to take out the grout from the joints.

or No wax and tape

• Only advised on glazed and even edge tile or stone.

2.1 The seal and nozzle

• For 1.5mm to 3mm wide joint, the default 2mm nozzle outlet is good to go. Just make sure no burr at the outlet.
• Cut or flatten the outlet if needed.
• Keep the cap if to reseal for a next time usage. Store erectly.

2.2 Load the cartridge

• Twist tight the nozzle to the cartridge.
• Lock the cartridge neck in position to fix well.

2.3 Discard the 1st pump

• Get rid of the initial 10cm material, of which the two components are regarded not mixed evenly, and thus not advised to grout the joint.
• If the grout is still tacky when it should be cured, it is most probably due to the cause of not 1:1 mixed.

2.4 Pressure release

• To stop the material flowing out, or to pull back / forward the rods, press the pressure release button.

3.1 Dispense the grout

• Dispense slowly to make the joints fully packed and the material count.
• If material touches skin, use wet or alcohol wipe to clean.

3.2 Shape the joints

• Use the gadgets to shape the grout after finishing each cartridge, which normally takes about 10 minutes.
• The trick for shaping is to divide the excess from the grout inside the joints. It eases the residue removal after it cures.

3.3 Clean the shaper

• Use tissue or rag to clean the shaper after each press.
• If any voids spotted, use the material on the rag to refill.
• After shaping, leave the site as is for itself to cure. DO NOT use water or sponge to wash. It would cause mess.

3.4 Scrape the excess

• Scrape the cured excess and the job is done.
• It's able to scrape in 4 hrs at 25°C. Finger touch the excess to feel the set. Advise to scrape the next day.
• Colder weather, longer time to set. Hotter, sooner.

Coverage

• Data is without considering the material loss.

Brick Bond, 50% Offset

• Say the tile is 30×60cm, then the joint length to be grouted for this floor or wall is 25.2m.
• Suppose the joint size is 1.5mm wide × 3mm deep, then 1 unit is enough.

Transverse line: 0.6×4×7=16.8m

Vertical line: 0.3×4×7=8.4m

Square Grid

• Say the tile is 30×30cm, then the joint length to be grouted for this plane is 12m.
• Suppose the joint size is 3mm wide × 3mm deep, then 1 unit is also enough.

Transverse line: 0.3×5×4=6m

Vertical line: 0.3×5×4=6m

Before You Buy

• Tool kit is included.
• Sanded grout flows much slowly than the unsanded, and it takes more power to be dispensed. Be patient with it.
• This product is not advised for grouting small size tiles such as mosaic or subway. Too many lines.
• It is not water-cleanable. DO NOT use water or sponge to wash the excess.
• It takes time (4 hrs at 25°C) to initially set to start scraping the epoxy excess. It should be a drawback for a contractor if he originally does not have to return to the jobsite.
• Due to the epoxy's intrinsic character, color white may yellow a bit after long time exposure to UV. This might be a concern for the exterior application.

Application in Cold Weather

• In cold weather (below 40°F), the epoxy may become viscous and difficult to dispense out.
• Heat the cartridge with head down in hot water (140°F) for 20 minutes. This helps the grout flow, especially for the sanded one.
• Heated material is faster to cure.
