recommended. Add powder to water and mix until a uniform,lump-free,
thick creamy paste is produced, allow to stand for
ten minutes prior to use.
Application
Apply Nitotile Grout to the spaces between the tiles using
asponge or a small piece of soft cloth. Work the mixture into
the joints and around the edges.
Remove surplus material from the face of the tiles with a
drycloth and run the tip of a gloved finger or suitable rounded
tool along the grout to level it off and form a profile.
When the grout is dry, clean the tiles with a damp sponge to
remove any excess material. It is advisable to remove
uncuredgrout from textured tiles prior to setting, failure to do so
mayresult in difficulty in removal.
