How to use DUSH APEX.
Follow these steps for best results.
Ensure the interior or exterior substrate is clean, structurally sound and free of dust, oil and loose material. Prepare porous substrates according to the current product label and technical datasheet before applying.
Combine powder with water at the ratio specified on the label. Mix to a smooth, uniform paste and allow to slake for 5 minutes.
Apply with a notched trowel, press the marble firmly and check alignment. Protect the installation from movement, traffic and, for exterior work, rain during the initial curing period as directed by the current product label and technical datasheet.
Pro tips & common mistakes.
Do This
- Always back-butter large marble slabs for 100% contact coverage
- Check substrate flatness with a straight edge before starting
- Mix powder adhesive with clean water only — never with additives unless specified
- Maintain a joint of at least 3mm around room perimeters for expansion
- Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place off the floor
Avoid This
- Apply adhesive to a substrate with standing water or visible dampness
- Use a trowel notch that is too small for the tile size
- Set tiles into adhesive that has already begun to skin over
- Allow adhesive to freeze on the substrate or on the tile during curing
- Ignore the open time — always work within the declared window
