To promote uniform curing always damp cure by covering the tile and grout with a single layer of 40 pound natural Kraft Paper. If epoxy-mortar method is used, refer to manufacturer's recommendations. Apply the mortar mix with a notched trowel using a scraping motion to work the material into good contact with the surface to be covered. Tiles should be tapped in to seat uniformly. Check for transfer to the tile.
Large tiles require back buttering.
Excess mortar shall be cleaned from the surface with a damp cloth or sponge while the mortar is fresh. Avoid excess water in clean-up. Allow two to three days after tiles are laid before grouting the joints. Once grout has been applied and starts to dry, excess grout must be removed immediately. Remove excess grout with a stiff damp sponge cleaning the sponge frequently.
