Weber Tylon Renovate

STEP 1:

SURFACE PREPARATION

The walls or floors to be tiled must be wood-floated and not  steel-trowelled or power-floated. Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, sound and free from dust, grease or any contamination that could impair bonding. Make good any unsound areas and remove flaky or peeling layers before tiling. Organic growth must be removed and the spores killed using household bleach. 

Problem Surfaces: Enamel paint, PVA, gypsum and bitumen should be scraped and chipped to expose 80% of the substrate. Do not use a solvent or heat to remove bitumen from the surface. Existing tiles must be thoroughly cleaned using a suitable cleaner. Rinse well with cold water. Smooth-, off-form-, shutter- or power floated cement surfaces should be acid washed to remove laitance. Rinse well with cold water. Once the surface preparation has been completed on the above problem surfaces, the area must be primed using a mix of 2 volumes of Weber Tylon® Plaskey and 1 volume of Weber Tylon® Key-it.

Apply to a thickness of approximately 2 mm using a block-brush. Leave to dry for 24 hours.

STEP 2:

MIXING

• Combine a 20 kg bag of Weber Tylon® Renovate with 5 litres of clean water and mix to a creamy paste
• Though Weber Tylon® Renovate has waterproofing properties; if the application is done where excessive wet conditions persist: i.e. walkways where puddles occur frequently; replace all water with Weber Tylon® Bond-it
• Allow the mixture to mature for 5 minutes and re-mix thoroughly. Consistency can be adjusted by adding more water
• Do not add too much water or attempt to extend the working time by adding more water as this will cause the adhesive to be weak with a tendency to crumble
• Do not mix more adhesive than can be applied within 1 hour

APPLICATION
Spread adhesive using a notched trowel to a minimum bedded thickness of 3 mm on walls and 6 mm on floors. Heavily lugged, grooved or dovetailed tiles must be buttered to fill any voids with adhesive before placing into wet adhesive. Press tiles firmly into wet adhesive with a twisting action. Use a rubber mallet to bed large or heavy tiles. Occasionally lift a tile to check that full contact is being made between the tile and the adhesive. Do not butt joint tiles. Clean excess adhesive off the surface once tiles are firmly set using a damp sponge. Once the adhesive has hardened, only mechanical removal is possible. Minimum grouting joints for walls is 2 mm and 3 mm for floors. Adhesive must be allowed to dry for 6 hours before grouting commences.
