Application Guide

1. Prepare the surface: Ensure it is clean, dry, structurally sound, and free of contaminants.
2. Prime if necessary: Use Gripset primers as recommended for specific substrates.
3. Mix the adhesive: Combine 20kg of Gripset C-Rubber with 6-6.5 litres of clean water. Mix with an electric stirrer until a consistent, lump-free mixture is achieved. Let it settle for 2-3 minutes, then lightly re-stir before use.
4. Apply the adhesive: Use a notched trowel (10mm for floor tiles, 6mm for wall tiles) to apply the adhesive to the substrate.
5. Embed tiles: Firmly press the tiles into the adhesive, ensuring full contact. Slide the tiles at a right angle to the notch lines for complete coverage.

Limitations

• Not recommended for direct use over timber flooring (consult Gripset for surface preparation).
