• Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and remix.
• Spread the mixed product onto the substrate (TRADITERM CERAMIC (SATE/ETICS) System) with a trowel to a maximum surface area of 1 ^m2.
• Spread with a notched trowel to adjust the thickness (see chart).
• With the aid of a trowel, spread the product over the surface of the ceramic tile (using the double bonding technique).
• Lay the tiles, pressing and moving them to ensure total and correct adhesion to the grooves and correct adhesion with the entire surface.
• Respect the construction joints:
  • Expansion Joints.
