Troubleshooting
Primer not adhering well
Ensure both the tile and substrate surfaces are clean and dry before application. Do not over-thin the primer. Apply when temperatures are within the recommended range.
Primer seems too thick or too thin
Follow the manufacturer's mixing ratio precisely. Adjust water quantity slightly if necessary, but avoid deviating significantly from instructions. Stir thoroughly.
Tiles detaching after installation
Verify that the primer was allowed to become tacky before placing the tile. Ensure the correct type of mortar bed was used and that it was properly cured. Check that the primer was applied to a clean surface.
Difficult to spread evenly
Ensure the primer is mixed to the correct consistency. Use a suitable brush or roller for even application. Apply in manageable sections if needed.
