Setting / TDS-133
Movement Joint Placement
Movement joints are required for perimeters and other changes of
plane in all installations. Expansion joints and cold joints, as described
in ANSI A108.01, should never be bridged with setting material. They
must be brought through the tile work and filled with an appropriate
elastomeric sealant, such as Custom's 100% Silicone. Contact
Custom's Technical Services for the proper treatment of control or saw
cut joints. Refer to TCNA EJ171, F125 & F125A.

Application of Product
Tile Replacement
When replacing tiles where Tile Repair Mortar cannot be applied with
a notch trowel, apply a sufficient amount of mortar to back of tile
(back-butter) to ensure 100% coverage of mortar to tile. Apply skim
coat of mortar to the surface. Press tile firmly into place, moving back
and forth. Pull up a tile and check the back of the tile and surface are
completely covered with Tile Repair Mortar. Reset and adjust. If
material has skinned over (not sticky), recomb with notched trowel. If
too dry, remove and replace with fresh material.
Underwater Repair
Apply mortar to the back of the replacement tile with the flat side of a
trowel. This forces the mortar into any depressions between ridges or
grooves for maximum coverage and adhesion. Then apply a generous
amount of mortar to the back of the tile and comb through the mortar
with the notched side of the trowel to ensure uniform coverage. The
type and size of the tile will determine the size of the notched trowel.
The tile can then be taken underwater for installation. Press the coated
tile firmly onto the prepared area making sure the tile is set flush with
adjacent tile. The excess mortar should squeeze up out of the
surrounding joints. Remove this excess but leave enough to serve as
the grout (mortar is white in color and may not match existing grout
exactly). Dress grout joints to be even with surface of tile and wipe
away any excess.
