What makes glue for tiles? Composition of tiled glue to make himself. Consumption and drying time

Many of you have come across the need to put tiles in an apartment or home, as it is not always possible to entrust this business to professionals. Therefore, professionals have to become themselves and often in a completely new business for you.

So, if you have already bought tile, there was free time and the desire to stick it, then it remains only to prepare the adhesive mixture necessary for work. It is not difficult, just enough to have the necessary components and know some features.

The mixture is usually made from cement and sand. Cement is a binding agent, and the sand is filler.

Sand should not be large, the maximum diameter of grains - two millimeters.

Sand and cement must be homogeneous in its composition and do not contain any impurities, including clay.

The ratio of cement and sand for dry composition is taken as one to three. That is, three sand buckets take on one bucket of cement. At the same time, the measure is the volume of materials, and not their weight.

Dry mixture is mixed on the water. But before adding water, sand with cement must be thoroughly and evenly mix. The finished composition should be like a density to sour cream.

Ready glue should be used immediately, without waiting until it starts to harden.

If the solution hardened, and you did not have time to use it, in no case should not be diluted with water. Otherwise, your works will disappear, as the tile will simply disappear.
In case of frozen glue, it is better not to be lazy and make a new one.

With this glue, you can lay ceramic tiles not only indoors, as well as on the street. In addition, cement-based tile and sand-based tile is suitable for facade work, to apply mosaic. The surface on which the tile is stacked may be from different materials - from concrete, brick, cement plaster or gypsum. This glue is universal in use.

A dry mixture on a cement basis can be bought in the store. Typically, glue on a cement base dries during the day. Therefore, the manufacturers often add accelerators into finished dry mixes. Some ready-made mixes dry out in twenty minutes. If you used a similar "fast" mixture, do not rush to rub the seams right away. It is advisable to do it the next day.

If the glue on a cement basis is not suitable for operation (the tile is glued to a non-rigid base, for warm floors or external work), then you can purchase a ready-made elastic paste from synthetic binding materials. Sometimes such pastes are sold in a dry form, in these cases they need to be breeded with water. Elastic pasta as well as glue on a cement basis, quite universal. Due to the fact that manufacturers use many different components in the composition of these pastes, they are usually frost-resistant, waterproof and economical. Some formulations can even be used for putty work or grouting small defects.

Before you begin to glue the tile, you need to "evaluate" the front of the work and calculate what glue will be more profitable to you economically, then you can choose - a finished cement mixture or an elastic pasta, or glue, made personally.

If you still decided to visit the construction store and purchase ready-made glue, then carefully read the guide to action. Since various manufacturers provide different recommendations for their products. This applies to the amount of water, mixing modes and withstanding before work.

Be careful and confident in yourself. And everything will succeed!

Tile glue is one of the types of finishing materials.But its use is more widely than comes from his name. The composition of such adhesive allows you to glue the most different materials, so everything is not limited to work with ceramic tiles.

The glue for the tile was widely produced in Soviet times, but then its consistency determined GOST, i.e. Third-party ingredients could not be added to it, otherwise he could not be called tiled glue.

Now the situation is somewhat different, therefore you can find many different glue brands, Designed for connection to the surface of a plot of facing materials.

Tying glue types, its base - what is part of the mixture

The composition of the tile glue in the old days included a fairly standard set. Comprises:

Mixture of cement and sand.
Oil paint.
PVA glue or adhesive paste.

Then other glue compositions appeared on the market. adhesive additives entered significantly improve adhesion of glue, also the composition of acrylic and resin. You can safely glue the facing material to the concrete wall so that the same tile keeps it very good.

The modern market offers many types of glue, which may differ in a wide variety of composition.

An ordinary buyer is sometimes very difficult to choose the appropriate option, because the composition of the tile glue directly depends on the scope of its application.

In order for the glue corresponded to its characteristics, it needs to be in the right way, so you need to carefully study information about it on the package.

How to make glue for tiles do it yourself - recipe

It is very important to know the approximate composition of the tiled glue, If you want to make it with your own hands. Of course, the easiest way to buy it in a specialized store, but what if the work is in full swing, and all the construction stores do not work?

That is exactly the case and it is useful to understand how to make tiled adhesive on your own prescription. To begin with, make sure that you have the main ingredients of glue:

Cement - the M-400 Mark is suitable.
Sand.
Glue for wallpaper or ordinary PVA glue.

Naturally, we also We will need tanks for mixing components, as well as a different toolkit. The manufacturing process will look like this:

first need divide glue for wallpaper The amount of water that is indicated on the packaging. Remember that compliance with the proportions is very important for proper consistency of glue;
next we need sand. You can buy it in a construction store, saying the seller that you need sand, whose fractions should be about 2 mm. If required, then ask for sand;
then mix the sand and cement. Here it is also necessary to observe the proportions: one part of the cement will require three parts of the sand;
our task in cooking glue is achieve a consistency of thick sour cream. That is why, the divorced glue for wallpaper should be added to the cement-sandy mixture by portions. You can first pour one glass, then stir the solution and, if necessary, pour another wallpaper glue;
then you can move to tests. We apply the composition on the tile, after which we apply it to the surface. If the adhesive holds well on it, as well as it is sufficient consistency, allowing you to move the tile on the wall, then we all did it right.

If something has not happened, then The required consistency can be achieved by adding a dry mixture or water..

For more information about homemade glue cooking, see the video:

The glue for the tile enjoys a fairly great demand, which is explained by its decent characteristics of solidification, as well as a fairly affordable cost.

The composition of the tile glue of the Unice includes a standard set in the form of cement, special filler and chemical elements. Also important components are the usual water that the dry mixture is divorced.

Thus, the 25-kilogram bag will require about five liters of fluid.

Glue on the tile of the layer of approximately 1.5 cm is applied, which allows it quite economically. On average, one square meter leaves 4 kg of mixture.

The scope of the use of unice glue is quite wide. It can be used on surfaces such as asphalt, plaster, brick, concrete, etc.

Remember that after cooking glue it is necessary to spend it within 4-5 hours, otherwise it will lose all its properties.

Basic rules in work

in room must be acceptable for work temperature. To glue the tile, it must be in the range from 5 to 30 degrees Celsius;
it is necessary to comply with the correct amount of water in the dilution of glue. On average, it will take about five liters of water for a 25-kilogram bag to obtain a normal consistency;
it is necessary to apply the correct amount of the composition on the tile. As a rule, 3-15 mm glue is applied;
the average life expectancy of adhesive, if you can put it, is 3-4 hours. At the same time, after gluing tiles to the surface, we still have about 10 minutes to adjust the position of the tile;
what concerns solidification time, then it is about 24 hoursAfter which you can safely walk on the tile or perform any other manipulations.

Which to choose?

We have already talked about what glue to choose, entirely depends on the scope of its use. To choose the appropriate option, you only need to know where you will use it.

Waterproof

To lay tiles on the floor, you will need adhesive capable of aligning the surface. This capacity can use epoxy glue.

Also the final selection of adhesive composition will depend on the following factors.:

specificity of the work themselves. whether they will be carried out indoors, or external work will be carried out;
the type of surface on which the tile is accomplished - brick, etc.
indoor humidity, as well as temperature indicators;
type of tile itself.

No need to acquire that glue that is more expensive than others. Remember that not always the product that is characterized by the highest cost will be better than others in terms of quality.

Often, a high price is an elementary consequence of brand promotion, so in fact you are overpaying only for the name of the popular brand.

But very cheap glue formulations acquire, because the resulting tile and other negative points can become the result of this. The optimal option is glue from the average price category, but from a fairly well-known company.

The fact is that popular manufacturers comply with the basic rules in the manufacture, which allows their products to comply with the basic standards of quality. We also recommend you to get acquainted with our article which will tell what better and.

One of the types of finishing materials is tiled glue, but, despite its name, it is applied not only for fastening the tile. Such a glue composition perfectly glues many materials.

This glue is known since Soviet times, then he had only one composition, and now there are many different types of it, which go for fastening any facing materials.

Types and composition of the foundation

Previously, cement-sand composition was used in its capacity, which could add oil paint, PVA glue or adhesive paste. Then, solutions with adhesive additives appeared on sale, which were characterized by good adhesion and were able to perfectly fasten concrete walls with the necessary facing.

Now in construction stores you can find such a variety of tiled adhesive compositions, which can be confused before their choice. Each species has its own composition, which is intended for a specific application.

His characteristics affect the additives from mixed chemical compounds, it can be:

antiorious additives;
polymer modifiers;
water-retaining inclusions.

The article describes how to use

And the basis of the adhesive contains cement and sand in certain proportions. That is, in principle, the tile makeup is a mineral polymer composite from complex compounds. In percentage ratio, the tile solution consists of 95% of the dry mixture, and everything else is occupied by different additives.

Tile glue varieties

Two groups are distinguished:

The latter are sold in plastic buckets that have different volumes. This is completely ready for use glue. After purchasing it, you can immediately begin to stick the facing material, it is enough to mix the contents of the plastic container before this time.

Before applying glue, it should be made properly. To do this, you need to explore the instructions and find out the rules for obtaining the desired consistency. The result of the work will depend on the correctness of the breeding of the composition.

What features is possessed

Its purchase depends on the properties and purpose, so you need to know what technical characteristics has the desired composition. If the tile adhesive solution is based on cement, then the following requirements must be followed for working with it:

the temperature of the work must be between +5 to 30 0 s;
adhere to the specified amount of water for breeding the composition. On average, 25 kg of dry component should account for 5 liters of fluid;
you should withstand the thickness of the recommended application layer. It is usually from 3 to 15 mm;
the viability of tile glue is 3 hours. After the adhesive solution was diluted, it must be used for 20 minutes. After the tile is glued to them, its adjustment can be produced for another ten min. ? The composition fully solidifies in a day;
some types of adhesives have frost resistance, which is 35 cycles.

Scope and its value

Its price is affected by the properties and quality of additives. Building materials manufacturers try to diversify the range of their products, and every year release new types of tiled glue for various surfaces. We present some varieties of trademarks and their products indicating prices and areas of their application.

Depending on its properties, it can be used:

in the bathrooms and inside the pools (waterproof);
for sex as a heater;
for decor of furnaces and fireplaces (heat-resistant);
in any room for fastening the floor tile (equalizer).

How to make tiled glue with your own hands

Preparation proportions

How to make your own hands? There are cases when it is necessary to urgently get a new portion of the adhesive basis, and the construction stores are already closed, then you should use step-by-step instructions for the preparation of tile glue at home. Initially, it is necessary to prepare its components: cement (M-400), sand and bulk glue (PVA can also be suitable). In the process you will need clean tools and containers. So let's proceed, it is necessary:

Dilute wallpaper glue with water. The proportions are taken from the instructions indicated on the packaging of the adhesive ingredient.
Take the sandHis fractions should be about 2 mm. Before use, this component is better to sift it to be clean.
After that, it is mixed with cement. Proportions: one liter of the latter should account for 3 liters of sand filler. If you wish, you can add a plasticizer for concrete.
Adding the wallpaper glue must be carried out. At first, pour 200 ml if the mixture has not yet reached the state of fatty sour cream, you can bring it to it another portion of glue.
After that, the resulting mixture must be tried to stick to the tile. If it is well applied to its surface, and the material fixed on the wall can be moved, then, it means that the glue is properly manufactured. When deviating from the desired state, the composition can be adjusted by adding water or dry components.

Some wizards, without having a wallpaper glue, make home without it. In principle, in this solution, it is necessary only for the possibility of correcting the tile in the fastener process.

On video - Application of tile glue:

Using the compositions of the tile glue presented on sale can be glued completely different materials on almost any plane of their home. Naturally, it can be performed at home, but the purchase option eliminates the receipt of inappropriate glue consistency, as it has an accurate formulation and dosage of its components.

In order to prepare PVA glue with their own hands, it is necessary to pick up such ingredients:

glycerin - 4 grams;
wheat flour - 100 grams;
distilled water - 1 liter;
ethyl alcohol - 20 ml;
gelatin photographic - 5 grams.

Some of these raw materials are always at home, and the rest is in the pharmacy. Preparation of glue, per day, it is necessary to soak gelatin in ordinary water.

When gelatin has already been fifth, it is necessary to build a water bath from the kitchenware. All raw material components, not including alcohol and glycerin, place in the container and cook on a water bath.

The resulting mixture is constantly stirred and we are waiting for it when it becomes the desired consistency (thick).

When the mass became thick, you can add ethyl alcohol and glycerin into it. Next, it is necessary to thoroughly stir the ground while it will not be missing inhomogeneity. After the mass has become homogeneous, you can stop the process of cooking glue. Homemade PVA glue can be done immediately as it will cool.

Joinery glue with your own hands

Quite often in the household it is necessary to glue the tree, cardboard or paper. And then it is best to prepare carpentry glue at home. For its preparation you need a tile of joinery glue. Before direct preparation, you must smash the tile on small pieces and put them in the container. Next, you need to pour pieces of tiles with cold water, wait 10-12 hours while glue absorbs water and forms a chattering mass.

After that, the container C must be put on a water bath and constantly stirring so that it does not have a burnt. If carbon black is needed to have a nursing consistency, then it will be appropriate to add hot water to the mass. You do not need to bring glue to boil when there are no lumps - it means that he is ready.

If the joinery glue must be combined, then it is necessary to add to the prepared mass of glycerin. At the rate of: 1 teaspoon with 0.5 liter glue.

Features of the preparation of glue at home

If you have already purchased a facing tile and there is a desire to work, then you need to cook with your own hands. As a rule, the adhesive mixture is prepared from cement and sand, water and glue PVA. Sand acts as a filler and must be small, the maximum diameter of the grain - no more than 2 millimeters.

The ratio of cement and sand should be 1: 3. At the same time, the measure is not the weight of materials, but their volume. For example, there are 6 buckets of the cement for 2 buckets of the cement.

It must be remembered that the tile glue quickly solidifies and need to be prepared immediately before the facing tile. With a solution of tile glue, you can use no more than three hours.

Production of glue in the home is carried out in such a sequence of actions:

Cement with sand thoroughly mixed.
Then water is added to the resulting mixture, pre-soluble in it PVA glue. On the tiled adhesive bucket, 0.5 kg of glue is necessary. If cladding will be carried out in a room with high humidity, for example in the bathroom, then the volume of glue can increase and maximize 3 kg.
Then the tile glue is thoroughly, its consistency should be thick. If the weight has become homogeneous - it means that glue is ready to use.

The strength of the connection of the tile glue prepared with their own hands is quite high, but is inferior to industrial analogues.

How to prepare casein glue at home

If there is casein powder

According to its properties casein glue Similar to a joinery adhesive agent, but it is not afraid of moisture. Make casein glue with your own hands simple enough. For its preparation requires a flat container, casein powder, a bora and water. Initially, casein powder is poured with water and give it to be broken for three hours. Then the boor must be dissolved in hot water in a 1: 7 ratio. The resulting solution is added to casein. This mixture is heated in a water bath to 70 ° C and constantly stirred. Clay can be used 40 minutes after removal from the water bath.

If you do not have a casein powder, then you can cook it yourself.

How to prepare casein milk glue

Skipped milk is needed for the preparation of casein powder. Milk put in a warm place for zaking and then filtered using cotton wool or wrestling paper. Further, casein, remaining on paper, washed in water and boiled. At the end of the casein, it is necessary to decompose on paper and dried at room temperature.

After the preparation of casein powder, you can proceed to the production of glue. For the preparation of glue, you need a bora, water and casein powder in a 1: 4: 10 ratio. Next, mix the raw material components, but first add half of the water. Then, in the resulting thick consistency, add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Casein glue must be used immediately, after 3 hours it solidifies.

Features of the preparation of glue for wood

Prepare glue for your own hands is very simple. The composition of such adhesive includes: flour, water, aluminum alum, rosin in the ratio of 40: 10: 1.5: 3. All raw material components are poured with water and thoroughly mixed. Then the mixture is placed on a weak fire and heated. As soon as the glue began to be thick, it is removed from the fire.

Use adhesive for wood immediately until it frozen.

How to cook waterproof glue

Quite often, the household needs glue, which is not afraid of dampness. This type of glue is customary. waterproof. Waterproof glue is used in carrying out facing in the kitchens, bathrooms. This type of glue can be purchased in the finished form, and you can cook yourself at home.

There are several ways to produce glue at home:

1. At the first method of making glue, cottage cheese is needed or rolled milk, harated lime. These two components are mixed to obtain a thick homogeneous mass. After that, the glue is ready for use, but it is necessary to remember that applying a substance on the surface, you need to carefully compress and dry them.

2. Adhering to the second method of manufacturing glue, you need to purchase 100 grams of high-quality joinery glue, 35 grams of olifa. The joinery glue is placed in a glass and boil on low heat until it becomes liquid. Then olify is added and the mixture is thoroughly stirred. This glue is always necessary to warm up before use. Such hot glue with your own hands perfectly connects wooden surfaces, used when laying a facing tile, it is not afraid of a cold or hot water.

Knowing how to prepare various adhesives at home, you can always fully and in time to fulfill all the household work, creating a cozy and pleasant atmosphere.

Glue for tile

To prepare glue for tile, you will need:
1. Packing foam unit 20x20x20 mm.
2. Acetone.
Glue for tile. Operating procedure.
The tile turns over the back side. In the corners of the tile placing the foam. Now drip in every acetone tile angle. Approximately 20 drops. The glue for the tile begins to be created himself. After a few seconds, the foam dissolves and the tile tile is pressed tightly to the wall.
How quickly grabs glue for tiles from foam?
You need to wait only 30 seconds and glue tightly attach tiles to the wall surface.

glue for tile

Preparation of a cladding solution with tiles. Tile glue with your own hands - finishing works

The solution is a mixture of sand, binding material and water. Cement is used as a binder, and the best portland cement. Slagoportlandcent is less suitable for these purposes, as it contains a large percentage of a thin grinding blade, which can cause an undesirable change in the color of the surface of light facing tiles.

When cooking solo The quality of sand is of great importance. The sand should not contain contaminants, extraneous inclusions such as clay, grass, leaves, etc. If the handful of sand, compressed in the palm of the palm, is kept by a lump, the sand is not suitable. This testifies to the large content of clay impurities in it. Sand should not be too small or too large. Normal is considered grain to 3 mm, in exceptional cases - up to 5 mm. The highest quality solution is obtained from sand with graininess up to 3 mm; It is the most durable, and for such sand is required fewer cement.

Water should be taken from the water supply or the well. Less than suitable rainwater, it is too soft. Rain water is completely unsuitable, gradually collected in the container in which it usually stands for a long time and is polluted. For a long time, organic substances are formed in standing water, which subsequently destroy cement-binding material, so that the solution, at the beginning quite strong, gradually loses its strength.

Composition of a mixture of wall cladding tiles. Tile glue with your own hands

Main components: cement and sand We knell in proportions from 1: 3 to 1: 4, but more often in the ratio of 1: 4 by volume. It is not recommended to measure "on the eye". As a measure, you can use a liter bank, bucket, etc.

For kneading solution In proportions by weight it is useful to know that one bag of cement weighing 50 kg has a volume of 42 liters; Thus, 1 l cement weighs 1.2 kg. Weighted amount of sand and cement first stirred to a homogeneous mass until the mixture takes one color, and only after that water is gradually added. Solution Must have an easy-to-form consistency.

If you add a lot of water right away, the solution will be liquid. It is best to prepare a solution in small portions, no more than an hour of work. After this time, the solution begins to harden. And if the hardened solution is again stirred, adding water into it, it loses strength, and subsequently facing tiles will disappear from the base. In order for the solution to be more plastic, it is added to it a little lime, in an amount up to 1/5 of the cement volume. In no case in the cement solution can not be added gypsum.

Preparation of the foundation for cladding with ceramic tiles

Laying tile do it yourself: technology

Having all these tools at hand, you can easily put the tile on the floor on your own.

So, proceed.

At the first stage, it is necessary to prepare the basis for laying tiles. Of course, like any other flooring, tile should be put on a clean surface - dry and almost perfectly smooth. If you have a concrete base - it will have to line it, and for this, self-leveling mixtures will be perfectly suitable (although in this case, dust removal, cracking, grinding, etc.).

If the styling is produced on a wooden draft floor, then it is necessary to leve out with cycloying, swelling each slot, making up or even grinding irregularities. Or put fat (from 12 mm) sheets of moisture resistant plywood.

Then the waterproofing operations are carried out with the help of appropriate coating materials, and then - the priming of the surface. Printing will have to spend more than once - look at yourself "behave": if almost immediately absorbed into the surface, you will have to go through the primer a couple more times, so that the tile grip with the base of the draft was the largest.

Then you will need to place the prepared base of the floor in order to lay the tile. For this you need:

remove all plinths and door trims to ensure good access to the walls;
determine the middle of the sides of the opposite walls to carry out axial lines of the room;
conduct diagonal lines if the laying of the hands will be diagonally.

If you picked up the pattern for your gender (or sketched it), you can proceed to the direct layout of the tile according to the sketch. The landmarks of the direction will serve the intended lines.

Remember that it is not always possible to put a precisely defined amount of solid tiles. And so you have to try to hide the cropped parts under the plinth or furniture. Well, and of course, if in the room (for example, in the bathroom - a bath, in the living room - the fireplace, etc.) there are "main" objects, they will have to surround entire tiles around the perimeter. You can choose a tile of another shade - especially if you want to highlight these objects.

So, you have already laid down the tile on the floor, and notice that not all tiles are very fitted on the floor. So, if you have "extra" centimeters, it will have to trim. And how best to do this, and what recommendations to adhere to?

Than you can cut the tile

In front of a sharp tile, you will need to soak in water tanks - to keep the tile in water will have at least an hour, so you should take care of it in advance. After wetting, it will become completely pliable - and you can safely cover the material with ordinary glass cutter, and then, putting the tile on the edge of the table, pressed onto the plot to be cut off. The tile will disintegrate exactly by incision.

It seems to be easy and easy. But here there are their nuances:

The tile for walls can be cut with glass cutting, and the styling tile as an outdoor coating - a plottlecase, which differs from the glass cutter with the size of the wheels (in the stoveturiser, the wheel diameter is equal to one and a half centimeters). A larger wheel of a tile cutter allows you to make punctures on a greater depth. In addition, the tile cutter can then break the tile after the end.
The nail line should be carried out no closer (and better further) 10 mm - the distance from the edge of the tile.
The glass cutter should be applied after the mark markings of the remlict - evenly by the tile, ride it "on itself", leaving the visible trace.
An incision is carried out only once.

Tile can not be put on the edge of the table, extruding millimeters of the coincidence of the cut line with the line of the edge of the table, and simply put an ordinary wand (match, clips, carnations) on both sides from the markup line on both sides.

In general, the tile cutters are supplied with the limiter line - for those cases when it is necessary to obtain a tile of a typical (standard) size. But for drilling holes in the tile, a specially intended tool is used for this - "Ballerina".

How to make a hole

Sometimes it happens that even the most accurate, trying to drill the hole in the tile, make cracks. Naturally, after that, it is simply impossible to use the tile in the finish - but how then drill holes? One of the most simple ways is as follows: the glazed surface is removed from the alleged hole (for this you can shoot a hammer on the subject, stupid from one end and acute - from the other, it may be a tap), after the hole is drilled with a hand drill, The drill must be clamped in the cartridge.

In the fifth stage, the adhesive solution is kneading - clean water is poured into the prepared container and the dry mixture is poured there (the proportions should be observed, they are always indicated by the manufacturer on the package), then this solution is cooled well. Next, you need to give a mixture for a few minutes, then mix again to achieve maximum homogeneity - and your tile glue is ready!

On the sixth stage, the direct laying of the tile on the floor is performed. Adhesion is applied to the base (a special grater can be used to apply glue, on one side smooth, on the other - toothed). It should be remembered that for heavy tiles you need to pick a grater with large teeth. So, the glue is applied with a smooth side on the base of the floor, then the toothed side is distributed over the surface. The thickness of the layer should be greater than the height of the teeth.

Setting the tile to the floor, it should be tightly pressing with hands - over the entire surface. And if your tile has large sizes - then use the rubber hammer to the clutch, "navigating" it from the center and disagree to the edges. In order to withstand the same size and distance of the gaps, you can use plastic cross-separators. Putting the tile on the base covered with glue, it should be done again over the entire glued surface, remove the remnants of the glue - and move to a new site!

Do not forget to control the floor level - with the help of a building level, you can check how tiles are laid. Moreover, it will be necessary to check constantly - because if the surface is uneven, then it will be necessary to align it with an additional adhesive composition (or removing it). After complete laying of the tile (of course, having waited for a while, somewhere around half an hour) you can remove cross-separators and begin the grout of intercutric seams.

In the seventh stage, the intercutric grout is made - and it should be carried out only after the tile is finally grabbed with the base of the floor. With the help of the grout, you can also fill the cracks from the cross-separators. Grout is prepared by mixing the dry mixture with water (proportion, again, it will have to follow the recommendations of the manufacturers) and bring it to the consistency of thick paste (you can add a little water). Next, the grout solution is applied to the interputric seams with a spatula, all the gaps and holes are filled, "extra" grout is removed by the spatula and is applied again. After the end of the core works, it is recommended to wait at least half an hour so that the grouting makeup is polymerized - and now you can start missing the tile.

The tile was washed with a sponge moistened in warm water. At the same time, it should be done all his skill, in order to have time to wash the grout with possible glue residues - otherwise the grouting will be very difficult at all, and the surface (glazed) layer is easily damaged. The finishing "wash" of your tile should be carried out in an hour after the soaring work - with the use of a sponge and a piece of dry flannel tissue.

Experience at the reduction of repair and construction work

Yes, what's the difference - apartment or house. The essence is that not worsen to achieve the desired result of cheaper and without trouble.
Mixtures of course have the right to life, I myself often use them quite often, but if there is a possibility, I woof without them.
Just not Nada fanatism - or only on blends or without them.
And here is another financial hole with almost any large-scale repair or construction - priming.
It needs and without it can not do without it, and the procedure is multiple.
