WARNINGS
• The product can only be applied for grouting transparent or
artistic glass mosaics with joints not exceeding 1/8” (3.175
mm).
• Apply the product preferably at temperatures between 65 and
75°F. Do not apply at temperatures very low or with high
humidity to prevent the formation of surface carbonation which
could affect the uniformity of the color.
• Remove any excess product promptly from the surface of the
mosaic while still soft. Once hardening has taken place, the
product can no longer be removed unless mechanically, with
serious risks for the final result of the work.
• Mix the two components (A+B) correctly as indicated above.
• Change the cleaning water frequently.
• Prevent the water from entering the joints that are still empty
while cleaning
• Change the white pad / felt and sponge when saturated with
product.
• Do not wait more than 72 hours for the final cleaning with the
Haze Remover
• Do not use or walk on the newly grouted surface for 24 hours
or longer depending upon application temperature.
• Do not cover the newly grouted surface with any material to
prevent the formation of condensation that would lead to
surface carbonation on the product, altering the uniformity of
the color. Wait at least 24-48 hours depending on the
temperature before protecting the surface avoiding
condensation.
For the maintenance and cleaning of grouted surfaces with
Starlike® Crystal we do not recommend the use of bleach. If
bleach is not properly diluted and well rinsed, it can lead to a
yellowing of the grouting and this could be
visible especially on light colors.
• The product cannot be used for grouting tanks containing
aggressive substances permitted for intermittent contact only
(see chemical resistance chart shown in the technical data
sheet).
• Do not mix the product with water, solvents or any other
products.
