How to apply tile adhesive

The use of glue differs according to its purpose.

Base preparation

Bases, with the exception of heat-resistant glue, are prepared in the same way:

• cleaned of dust, grease stains, oil paint;
• remove crumbling plaster;
• level the surface with a plaster mixture;
• irregularities up to 10 millimeters are smoothed with an adhesive on which the tile will rest;
• impregnate porous surfaces with Hercules primer.

Leveling work is carried out 72 hours before the start of facing work. Floors are smoothed with a Hercules Coarse Leveler. The warm floor is preheated and cooled. When gluing the facing on all types of glues, with the exception of heat-resistant glues, the tiles do not get wet.

Before you start laying a stove or fireplace, the base is moistened with water. Solid clay bricks, before applying glue to them, are immersed in water for 8 minutes, refractory bricks - for 10 seconds. The side parts of the stove, chimney are cleaned of traces of limescale, dust, the seams of the old masonry deepen to 7-8 millimeters. The prepared surface is moistened with water, preventing it from drying out when laying the tiles. Tile tiles are soaked in water for 2-3 minutes before laying, ceramic tiles - for 10 seconds.

Preparation of the solution

The solution is prepared according to the instructions. The dry mixture is poured with water in the specified proportion and kneaded by hand or with a mechanical mixer until a homogeneous mass is obtained. The solution should stand for 7 minutes, after which it should be mixed again.

Work instructions

A metal notched trowel is used to apply the adhesive. The thickness of the applied layer depends on the width of the notch.The solution retains its adhesive properties for 10-20 minutes. During this time, you must use it completely. The thickness of the adhesive layer is 1 to 5 millimeters. The minimum layer is applied when tiling with tiles larger than 40 centimeters, in swimming pools and during outdoor work.

Tiles are laid at a distance of 2-3 millimeters, using signal flags. Veneer can be repaired in 10 minutes. Remove excess glue no later than 30 minutes after starting work. Sealing joints on wall coverings - after 1-2 days, on floor coverings - after 2-3 days.

When laying the oven, use a trowel and grouting. The thickness of the gasket is 7-10 millimeters. Drying the oven lasts 72 hours, during which it is reheated several times. For the first time - no more than an hour, up to a temperature of 100 degrees, subsequently - with an increase up to 3-5 hours and an increase in temperature up to 300 degrees.

The dressing of the oven is possible after a month of regular use. The surface is leveled with glue using a smooth trowel. The laying pattern is marked. The mortar is applied with a notched trowel, the wet tile is pressed into it and held for 2-3 seconds. Excess glue is immediately removed. The next tile is set back from the first by 4 to 5 millimeters. Sealing of joints - 2 days after the end of the cladding. The first short-term outbreak - after 3 days.

Analogs

Adhesive mixtures based on cement, sand and polymer additives are produced by world-famous German companies Ceresit and Knauf. According to the main technical characteristics, they converge with dry mixes "Hercules".The difference is in price and brand weight.
