If you are not certified plasterer, it is better to prefer the finished mixture. It is very important to follow the instructions printed on the package in small details. Do not stir the mixture manually: the nozzle on the drill will give a much better effect. After the first batch, leave the prepared mixture for 15-20 minutes, then mix thoroughly again.Gently and very evenly spread the finished mixture on the surface to be finished, and then dust it with dry cement powder. After that, you can start laying tiles, which are occasionally sprayed with water. Completely finished laying for several hours is closed with plastic wrap.

After laying and drying, we begin the formation of seams. We do not recommend doing this immediately after laying the material. The thing is that only after one day the solution completely grabs the material to the surface. Otherwise, clinker tiles, the price of which is not so small, can be spoiled. Grout should be used only one that is ideally suited for the color of the tile. To apply it, use a rubber spatula, as well as a grater of the same material.Upon completion, you need to carefully clean the finished coating. We recommend using special cleaning compounds. In particular, "Powerfix" and "Helotil" proved to be excellent. Do not forget that when working with clinker tiles in this case, you need to protect your hands with gloves made of dense latex.
