The mixing method of Tile Glue has an important influence on its performance and construction effect, and there are many details.
First, choose a suitable mixing tool. It is usually recommended to use an electric mixer, which can provide a more uniform and stable mixing effect. If you use manual mixing, it is difficult to ensure that Tile Glue is fully mixed and evenly mixed, which may affect the bonding performance.
Before mixing, you need to pour the powder of Tile Glue into a clean mixing container. Pay attention to accurately control the ratio of powder and water according to the instructions on the package. Generally speaking, adding too much or too little water will affect the performance of Tile Glue.
When starting to mix, you should first let the mixer run at a low speed to initially mix the powder and water to avoid splashing of powder. Then gradually increase the mixing speed to make Tile Glue form a uniform, particle-free paste. The mixing time should not be too long or too short. If the time is too short, Tile Glue may not be fully mixed and evenly, and there will be lumps; if the time is too long, too many bubbles may be introduced, affecting the bonding effect.
Keep the mixing process continuous and do not pause in the middle to ensure that the ingredients of Tile Glue are evenly mixed. At the same time, pay attention to the state after mixing. Tile Glue should be fine and smooth, without obvious particles and lumps.
After mixing, it is recommended to let Tile Glue stand for a few minutes. This process is called "ripening". Ripening allows the various ingredients in Tile Glue to further interact with each other and improve its bonding performance.
In addition, if other additives are needed to improve the performance of Tile Glue, such as additives that enhance waterproofness or flexibility, they should be added in the prescribed order and proportion and fully stirred.
In short, the correct Tile Glue mixing method includes choosing the right tools, accurately controlling the water-powder ratio, mastering the appropriate mixing time and speed, and performing aging treatment. Only by strictly following these requirements can Tile Glue with excellent performance be stirred, providing reliable protection for the pasting of tiles, ensuring that the tiles are firmly pasted and beautiful, and avoiding problems such as hollowing and falling off.
