Uses
Designed for use as a grout or pointing mortar for bricks, stone
and tiles. Ideal for restoration work.
Aplicable substrates
The product can be applied to concrete, masonary block, cement
boards, bricks, stone and all forms of tiles.
Always ensure substrates are free of contaminants, and relatively
dust free.
Application
Easiest application method is with a gun and nozzle or commercial
icing bag. Can be tooled in.
On hot days finish as you go to avoid product skinning over.
Compatibility
Compatible with all types of cement based substrates, tiles and
bricks.
Coverage
Coverage is dependent on the thickness of application. Approx
1 litre will fill a joint at 10mm wide by 10mm deep and 10 metres
long.
Drying time
Lower temperatures or on days of very high humidity or rain will
extend drying times. The product should not be applied in temperatures
less than 5 degrees celsius, or temperatures above 40 degrees
celsius.
Skin Formed 30 minutes at 20 degrees celsius
100% 5 - 7 days (dependant on conditions)
If there is high humidity or rain is imminent, a cup full of casting
plaster added to 10 litres of Flexi-Grout will enhance curing.
This catalyses the alkaline curing mechanism.
Washing up
Clean up tools and hands with fresh, clean water. Clean immediately
after use. Cured product may prove more difficult to clean off
later.
Storage

paints.
Do not store in direct sunlight. The product is classed as non-dangerous
and non-flammable.
