How to apply ProRapid RS

Apply the adhesive to the required thickness in areas up to 1m² at a time.

For internal walls

Use a notched trowel to the following notch dimensions to provide solid rib lines:

• Mosaic tiles: 3mm x 3mm at 6mm centres
• General wall tiles: 5mm x 5mm at 10mm centres
• General floor tiles: 8mm x 8mm at 16mm centres

For floors and external applications

Use the sold bed method. This involves applying a uniform bed of adhesive to the floor and 'buttering' the back of the tile with the same adhesive. When the tiles are bedded with a twisting action, pressing firmly down it ensures 100% contact is made with the both the floor and the tile.

General advice

When fitting tiles leave spaces between each of the tiles to alow for grouting (walls: approx. 1mm–3mm; floors: approx. 2mm–12mm). Before the tile adhesive sets, clean off the excess adhesive from the face of the tile and grout joints with a clean, damp cloth or sponge.
