No water should be mixed with this product. It is a resin based pre-packed grout which has three components, namely PartA, Part B and filler powder Part C. Only these components should be mixed to make grout which is easy to apply and clean.

The following preparation must be done before application of LATAPOXY® SP-100 grout:

• Clean the surface of the tiles and joints free of dust and debris with wet cloth or sponge. Remove spacers from the joints.
• Find out if the tiles were washed with acid based cleaners. If washed with acid based cleaners, wash the tiles again with plenty of clean water to remove any acidic remains in the joints.
• Don’t allow water to stand in the grout joints prior to grouting. Allow the joints to become dry.
• Check if all the tools and sufficient grout material is available for completion of job without any disturbance.
• Cordon off the area and don’t allow any traffic after cleaning the joints

The following precautions are very important and critical while application of LATAPOXY® SP-100, epoxy grout:

• Don’t do part mixing. The grout components are pre-packed and need to be used completely. For small areas, use small packs. Mix liquid components (Part A and Part B) first and then add filler powder to the already mixed liquid.
• Do not mix the grout in dirty pails, buckets. Always use clean pail to get the best results.
• Use gloves while mixing and applying the epoxy grout. A pair of gloves is provided in the grout pack.
• Don’t use putty blades for application of grout: Putty blades are metallic blades which will leave scratches on the tile surface. ALWAYS USE RUBBER FLOATS so that the tile doesn’t get scratched.
• Don’t allow any other works like plumbing, electrical fittings, plastering, tiling or painting to be done in the grouting area while applying the epoxy grout. If there is dust in the air, it settles down on the grouted joint which will be difficult to remove. Don’t allow any traffic other than people who are working with epoxy grout.
• Start initial cleaning with the scrubber provided in the kit in about 45 minutes time from the time of filling up of joints. If not done, it is difficult to remove the grout haze and excess grout after couple of hours. Final cleaning must be carried out after 24 hours from the time of first cleaning.
• Do not smoke while working with the epoxy grout. Do not allow any fire producing elements to the site while working with epoxy grout.
• Always use potable quality clean water for first and final cleaning of the grout joints.
