Using this specific product

  • For bathroom tiling, pay particular attention to surface fit, cleanliness, clamping pressure and bond-line thickness.
  • The source gives no conditions for this time.

How to check readiness

Test a noncritical offcut or wait for the stated load milestone before stressing the joint. The sheet gives an open time of 20 minutes. The sheet gives grouting after at least 24 hours. Test the seam or finish at the least-ventilated spot before normal water exposure.
