Use in suitable interior, exterior and submerged tile assemblies with ceramic, porcelain, glass, stone, quarry tile, pavers or brick. Its transfer properties are particularly useful for gauged porcelain panels, subject to the panel manufacturerās complete installation requirements.
Plan Your Installation
- Choose white or gray for the finish material and use the correct substrate preparation and bedding method.
- Exterior-glue plywood is an interior-only substrate; exterior and submerged claims do not apply to every backing.
- Do not treat extended open time as permission to set into skinned mortar; verify transfer.
- The manufacturerās respirable-silica statement refers to testing against an action level, not a guarantee of a dust-free or hazard-free job. Follow the SDS and dust precautions.
Common Planning Questions
Is this standard 254 Platinum in a smaller bag?
