4 Instructions
General Surface Prep
USE CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES, such as nitrile, when
handling product.
Existing grout joints should be clean and free of all sealers and
contaminants which might inhibit bonding and absorption of colorant.
Prepare existing joints by cleaning with TileLab®SulfamicAcid
Cleaner or AquaMix®PhosphoricAcidSubstitute according to
directions on the container. Grout must be cured and dry prior to
application. Test a small inconspicuous area prior to application.
Carefully apply to the grout joint and allow to dry 30-60 minutes. Allow
to dry 24 hours to see if desired results are obtained.
Application of Product
Shake well before using. If more than one bottle of the same color is
being used, mix all bottles together in a separate container. Apply to
dry grout joints. Test in an inconspicuous area before proceeding with
full installation. Apply small bead of Grout Renew directly to center of
joint. Work back and forth with a soft-bristled toothbrush to assure a
thin, even application. Do not allow it to bead or puddle. Carefully
apply to the grout joint and allow to dry 30-60 minutes. Work small
areas at a time.
Drying Time
Ready for light traffic in 2 to 4 hours, normal traffic in 24 hours. Do not
expose to water for 72 hours. Avoid scrubbing joints.
Cleaning of equipment
Clean tools and hands with water before material dries.
Health Precautions
Do not take internally. Harmful if swallowed. If ingested, ingest liquids.
Do not induce vomiting. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged contact
with skin. In case of eye contact, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes
and call a physician immediately. Keep out of reach of children.
