How to Apply Trubuild Stain Free Epoxy Grout?
Surface Preparation
-
Prepare the Surface
Using a wire brush or air blower, remove dust, oil, debris, and any sealer from the joints to ensure a clean surface for epoxy grouting tiles.
-
Mix Components
Mix Parts A and B in a suitable container and mix thoroughly with a trowel or slow-drill mixer until a uniform consistency is achieved.
-
Add Part-C
Slowly add Part-C powder to the mix, continuing to mix until you achieve a consistent, stiff mixture suitable for epoxy grouting for tiles.
-
Apply the Epoxy Grout
Using a hard rubber grout float, compact the tile epoxy grout into the joints, ensuring they are filled. Work in small areas and remove any excess grout from the surface diagonally to the grout lines.
-
Seal Open Joints
Plug open-ended joints with a stiffer mix to prevent slumping, ensuring your epoxy tile grout stays intact.
-
Clean Off Surplus Grout
Within 30 minutes of application, clean off any surplus tile epoxy. Use an Emulsifying Pad and Gripper dampened with clean water to emulsify (break down) the residue. Use a circular motion and keep the pad flat against the surface.
-
Prevent Water Flow
Do not allow water to flow or run into ungrouted joints during the process of grouting with epoxy grout.
-
Clean Off Residue
After emulsifying, clean off the epoxy grout residue with a fine sponge, cleaning diagonally to the grout lines to ensure a neat finish.
-
Remove Haze
Any light haze left on the tile surface can be cleaned off the next day using the Emulsifying Pad and Gripper and an alkaline detergent. Ensure the haze is removed within 24 hours to maintain the integrity of the epoxy grout.
Restrictions on Use
- Do not use the epoxy grout when the temperature is below 5°C and falling.
- Avoid exposure to running water during the epoxy grouting for tiles application to ensure proper bonding and finish.
