INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing—With Water
For best results, maintain all tiling materials,substrates, room and adhesives at 50°-70°F (10-21°C) for 24 hours before and 48 hours after installation. Thoroughly mix 50 lbs. (22.68 kg) Full Set Plus with 5 to 6 quarts(4.7-5.7 L) clean, cool water. Add powder to liquid for ease of mixing. Mix material to a thick creamy consistency, then allow the mortar to stand for 10 minutes. Remix and apply. Avoid breathing dust and contact with eyes and skin. Avoid using high speed mixing, not to exceed 300 rpm, to prevent entraining air.  
 
Mixing—With Latex Additive
For improved performance in any application, use TEC XtraFlex™ acrylic latex mortar additive in place of water. For installations subjected to freeze/thaw conditions; bonding over most non-cementitious substrates; bonding porcelain and other difficult-to-bond tile; or any ANSI A118.4 or ANSI A118.11 latex mortar project, the use of XtraFlex additive is required. Mortars TEC® 380/381 Full Set Plus® — Premium Thin Set Mortar When using a mortar additive, always follow label directions for detailed mixing and substrate recommendations.
 
Application
Apply mortar using flat side of trowel to promote better substrate contact, then comb in one direction with the notched side of the trowel. Spread only an area that can be tiled while surface is still tacky (typically 20-30 minutes). Press tiles into setting bed, then push in a direction perpendicular to the notched trowel ridges to achieve optimum coverage. Apply mortar in a heavy enough layer so that complete contact (no voids) between mortar and tile is accomplished when tile is positioned. It may be necessary to “back-butter” large tiles to achieve complete coverage and firm support. Periodically remove and check a tile to assure proper coverage. Keep a minimum of 2⁄3 of the joint depth between tiles for grouting. Open time and tile hand adjustability may vary with job site conditions. Stir occasionally during use to maintain the smooth, creamy consistency of the product. Do not add additional water.
 
Clean-up
Clean tools, hands, and excess materials from face of tile, while mortar is still fresh, with warm soapy water.
 
Grouting/Curing
Grouting may be accomplished when tiles are held firmly in place, typically 16 to 24 hours after installation is completed. No traffic is permitted over the tiles prior to grouting. Cold temperatures or high humidity may extend curing time. Unglazed tiles may require sealing prior to grouting so discolorations will not occur. The use of TEC brand grouts is highly recommended.
