MIX PREPARATION
Mix Process
1. The mixing ratio is 20kg of powder to 5.5-6L of potable water.
2. Add the water to a bucket, then slowly add the Davco Sanitized® Superfine White Grout powder to the water. Stir the mix until a lump-free toothpaste consistency is achieved.
3. Allow the mix to stand for 5 minutes, re-stir, then use the grout.
Note: Where movement is expected, or for superior performance in general applications, use Davco 4 in 1 Grout Additive instead of water alone
APPLICATION
Grouting
1. Prior to grouting it is advisable to lightly dampen the grout joints, particularly with porous tiles or in hot conditions.
2. Using a rubber float or squeegee, work the grout into the joints in a diagonal motion. Make sure the grout is worked into the joint (it should not bridge the joint).
3. Using a diagonal motion remove excess grout from the surface of the tiles with a rubber float or squeegee.
4. Clean up the remainder of the grout with a lightly dampened sponge. Regularly rinse the sponge out to help with cleaning and don’t make it too wet.
5. Leave the grout to cure for 24 hours before cleaning the haze off with a dry cloth.
