–1.5 litre of Davco Epoxy Grout Resin (Part A)

–1.5 litre of Davco Epoxy Grout Hardener (Part B)

3. Ensure that both the Epoxy Grout Resin (Part A) and Epoxy Grout Hardener (Part B) are well combined.

4. To this mix, while stirring with a mixing paddle attached to a drill, slowly add the grout (Part C). Do not mix by hand.

5. Continue to mix for several minutes until the colour is uniform free of lumps of powder.

APPLICATION

1. Work the grout into the joints in a diagonal motion using a rubber float or squeegee.

2. Ensure that the grout is worked into the joint and does not sit on top or “bridge” it.

3. Remove excess grout from the surface of the tiles using a diagonal motion.

4. Grout only 2 to 4 square metres at a time before clean up.

5. Use a damp sponge to clean up the remainder of the grout. Rinse the sponge regularly with clean warm water for best results.

6. Do not flood the floor with water. Ensure the sponge is kept clean and the water is changed regularly.

7. Remove any excess moisture from the grout joints, to avoid discolouration or colour variations.

8. Allow the grout to cure for 48 hours before exposing to the intended environment.
