Application Guide
01
Suitable Surfaces
+
- Stable structure of metal, marine-grade plywood, Vinyl PVC & rubber surfaces
- Existing surfaces of Epoxies & PU coating
- All kinds of drywall boards — cement-based, wood particle, gypsum, calcium silicate
- Fully dry and sound new or old traditional plaster
- Existing tiles or stone surfaces
- New or old absorbent IPS or PCC floors that are sound and stable
- Screed made with Wallnut Zeorich Base, Zeorich Base Rapid, or similar
- Fully cured stable concrete including precast concrete
- Surfaces made with AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) panel
02
Suitable Covering Materials
+
- All kinds of ceramic & vitrified tiles of all sizes including metal and wood tiles
- Natural stones sensitive to moisture, stone veneer, slate stone, laminated stone, Corian
- Onyx stone & agglomerated re-engineered resin-based quartz stone
- Large-size slabs of tiles & stone bonded with fibreglass mesh on the back
- All types and sizes of ceramic & glass mosaic
- Slim Tiles slab in 3mm thickness or cut stone with minimal thickness
03
Surface Preparation
+
- Ensure surface is sound, clean and free from oil, grease and dust
- If surface is uneven by more than 15mm, first level using correct material
- Do not pre-wet the surface with water
- For larger areas, provide movement joints every 3 metres or per local standard
- On external facades: avoid direct sun exposure — let surface cool before application
- Follow concrete expansion joints and connection joints per standard
04
Mixing Instructions
+
- Open mono pack and mix full quantity of Part A hardener into Part B thick paste
- Use a slow-speed electric stirrer until homogeneous — manual mixing may compromise performance
- For part quantities: strictly maintain Part A:Part B ratio of 1:10
- Use a measurement jar to ensure correct ratio — incorrect ratio compromises performance
- Use mixed material within the pot life period
05
Application
+
- Spread adhesive to desired thickness using Wallnut notch trowel
- Fix tiles or stone onto adhesive before skin formation — press firmly
- For large format tiles or stone: also apply adhesive layer on the back (back-buttering)
- For spot bonding: ensure minimum 25% tile surface coverage with adhesive
- Leave space between tiles for proper grouting and surface movement accommodation
- Leave 24 hours to bond — then grout with Wallnut Connect & Lock Epoxy Grout
