APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION

Scrape any dust, chipping, construction-cement waste that may be present inside the joint hole and clean with a brush before application. Joint hole shall be dampened with water before application, if required.

PREPARATION of the MORTAR

Water shall be put to the mixing vessel first, then FUGAFIX® GENİŞ shall be added (4.0-4.5 l water/20 kg bag) and it shall be stirred until the lumps are removed.
Wait for 5 minutes, and stir again to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
The mortar prepared shall be applied with a rubber ended scraper with a suitable thickness. Approximately 30 minutes after the application, surface shall be cleaned with a damp sponge. This period may be shorter for coating materials with heated surface or with high water absorption rate and for applications that are performed under improper conditions.
Fluctuation may occur on the joint surface when the wiping operation is performed before its due time or with an excessively dampened sponge. Sponge shall be cleaned frequently. After ensuring that FUGAFIX® is cured so that it shall not be drained from the joint gap, clean any residues on the surface with a dry cloth.
Application surface shall be dampened at least 1 day after the application.
When the surface cleaning operation is not performed adequately, the joint filler residues on the coating may be cleaned with a suitable cement stain remover (PRIMEL 300®) after 10 days.
