Protect from adverse weather conditions, such as extremely high or freezing temperatures, rain, direct exposure to sun, for at least 12–24 hours from application.

Consumption is always depending on the substrate surface profile and roughness,  the size of the tiles and the joints between them, as well as on the application technique (single spreading/floating method or an additional buttering layer on the back of the tiles as recommended for tiles larger than 30 x 30cm)). As a guide:

Pour the recommended water in a suitable, clean mixing container. While stirring slowly, add the powder to the water and mix thoroughly using a low speed (~500 rpm) electric mixer until a homogeneous and lump free mix is achieved.
After blending, leave the product maturing and then briefly stir it prior the application. The obtained mix has a very creamy consistency and is easily spreadable.

• SikaCeram®-200 Porcelain is applied using a notched trowel.
• Apply a sufficient amount of product to ensure complete wetting of the tiles’ rear.
• Tiling has to be carried out on fresh glue, exerting an adequate pressure to ensure contact with the adhesive, and thus the perfect bonding. In case a surface film is formed on the adhesive, remove the adhesive layer with the flat part of the spatula and apply a fresh layer of adhesive.
• Avoid application under direct sun exposure and/or strong wind.

Application and mixing tools should be cleaned with water while material is still fresh. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
