How to Guide
Cure times will vary with size and porosity of tile and porosity of floor
(porcelain tiles take considerably longer to cure), humidity and
temperature (cooler temperatures will extend set times). Typical
floor installations take longer to cure. No traffic is permitted on tiles
prior to curing. Grouting may begin once adhesive is firmly set up.
Up to 6” x 6” wall tiles require wait time of 6 hours or longer. Over 6”
x 6” tile or any floor tile application requires a least 12-24 hours.
Check to determine readiness by trying to twist the tile and see if it
moves. If it does, additional cure time is required. If the tile won’t
twist but you hear a wet suction sound when the tile is stepped on,
additional cure time is also required. The use of TEC® Skill Set™
brand grouts is highly recommended.
Full cure takes at least 48-72 hours depending on conditions.
For glass tile, refer to manufacturer's specifications. For marble and
granite installations, test in an inconspicuous area as discoloration
may occur. Most discoloration disappears after 30 days. For proper
curing, do no abut the marble tiles together.
Clean-up
While adhesive is still fresh, clean tools, hands, and excess
material from face of tile with warm soapy water. If adhesive has
dried, use acetone or mineral spirits to remove.
