3. Comments
​
-
For better results we recommend the use of piston/pumping machines
-
In the first day of the application the spraying of the surface with a thin layer of water is necessary to prevent cracks
-
Brushing should be carried out the same day or latest the day after the application
-
For external surfaces (roofs, balconies, etc) we recommend applying water-resistant insulation (in liquid form) prior to applying tiles
-
7-15 days required for drying up
