Conducting a series of inspections before using Tile Glue is a key step to ensure construction quality and safety. The following are the main checks that need to be carried out before using Tile Glue:
1. Appearance inspection
First, take a closer look at the appearance of Tile Glue. The color of high-quality Tile Glue should be uniform without obvious color difference; the texture should be fine and free of agglomerations, impurities, etc. If you find that Tile Glue has uneven color, clumps or impurities, there may be a problem with the product quality and you should avoid using it.
2. Packaging inspection
Check whether the Tile Glue packaging is intact and whether there is any damage, air leakage, etc. Damaged packaging may cause Tile Glue to become damp, clumped or contaminated, affecting its effectiveness.
3. Production date and shelf life inspection
Check the production date and shelf life of Tile Glue to make sure the product has not expired. The properties of expired Tile Glue may change, affecting the bonding effect.
4. Performance testing
When conditions permit, the performance of Tile Glue can be simply tested. For example, check the viscosity of Tile Glue. High-quality Tile Glue should have good viscosity and be easy to apply. You can also check the drying speed of Tile Glue. Drying too fast or too slow may affect the construction effect.
5. Grassroots inspection
Before using Tile Glue, the base layer also needs to be inspected. The base layer should be smooth, solid, free of oil stains, and free of floating dust. If the base layer has problems such as unevenness, looseness, or oil stains, it needs to be treated first to ensure that Tile Glue can be tightly bonded to the base layer.
6. Mixing ratio check
If Tile Glue needs to be mixed with water, the mixing ratio on the product instructions should be strictly followed. Tile Glue that is too thick or too thin may affect the bonding effect.
To sum up, Tile Glue needs to be inspected in many aspects such as appearance, packaging, production date, shelf life, performance and base layer before use. Through these inspections, the quality and use effects of Tile Glue can be ensured, providing a strong guarantee for construction quality and safety.
