Preparation of the surfaces. The surface to be treated with the product should be dry, and its wetness should not exceed 5% value. The joints should be free of dust, dirt and construction particles, at least 2/3 part should be empty. To make the jewel effect more attractive it is recommended that the joint width should be at least 3mm. At low temperatures the product shows high level of thickening. Due to this reason the temperature in working premises should be kept at the required level (+230C±30C) for 1 (one) day before application of the product. Prior to beginning the work certainly put on protective gloves and glasses.

Preparation of the mixture. At the time of Preparation of the mixture remove the Components A, B, C, and D from their containers and put them aside, then place the full amounts of the Components A, B, and D sequentially into one container and mix them using slow circulation mixer till the mixture is entirely homogeneous. Be careful mixing the Component D, as it is very light and volatile. To obtain lustreless appearance the mixture can be prepared without addition of Component D. Then add the C Component into the obtained mixture and mix by the same procedure till it is homogeneous.

Application. Fill the joints in a criss-cross manner using elastic trowel. Strike off extra amounts using the elastic trowel. Clean the surface and joints from the contaminations in 15 minutes after application of FugaBlesk mixture using wet sponge soaked with cold water in the manner of light angular motion. In 24 hours remove the remained contaminations from the surface using coarse chintz. To provide full cleaning of the surface repeat the last operation using vinegar in water solution or acetone.

Recommendations. Do not mix the product with any additional admixtures not indicated in operation instructions. The prepared mixture should be used within 50-minute period at 250C temperature. The effective life period can be affected by environmental and surface temperatures. At high temperatures the effective life of the product increases, and at low temperatures the effective life period decreases. After the useful life expiration the prepared mixture should not be used.
