Pointing Preparation | It is recommended to wait at least 7-14 days before pointing. It can help to dampen natural paving before grouting to help reduce the risk of picture framing. Prior to grouting the open grout joints clean, dry and free of residues. Porous or textured tiles/slabs may require sealing before grouting with a suitable impregnating sealer. If in doubt trial an inconspicuous area to check for staining and correct colour before commencing. |
Mixing | Prepare Fugabella® Colour in a clean container, first of all pouring in 525ml of water (approximately ¾ of the total 700ml amount required). Gradually add Fugabella® Colour to the container, mixing the paste from the bottom upwards with a low-speed drill and mixing paddle. Add more of the remaining 125ml of water until the desired consistency is obtained. The mixture must be of smooth consistency and without any lumps. For best results, and to mix larger quantities of the grout, a stirring device with vertical blades and slow rotation is recommended. Specific polymers with high-dispersion properties ensure that Fugabella® Colour is immediately ready for use. |
Application Process | Fugabella® Colour must be applied evenly on the tile covering with a spreader or hard rubber float. Grout material has to be completely filled between entire joint areas, the application has to be done diagonally with respect to the joints. Remove most of the excess grout immediately, leaving only a thin film on the tile. Begin cleaning the tilework when the grout is touch dry into the joint. On completion, clean-up the surface using a thick, large-sized sponge damped in clean water to avoid removing grout from the joints. Make sure clean water is used at all times, using appropriate trays with grills and cleaning rollers for the sponge. Use circular movements to soften the film of hardened grout on the tiles. Finish cleaning up by dragging the sponge diagonally across the tiles while applying water evenly over the tiles, in order to prevent any shade variations. Residual traces of grout can be removed from tools with water before the product has hardened. |
Cleaning Tools | Wash all tools frequently to avoid material bonding to them |
Cleaning During Application | Always keep a clean sponge and water available for wiping off any excess or spillages from paving |
