..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
To ensure proper adhesion, the tile surface must be
thoroughly cleaned before applying Tile Transformations.
Repair chips and cracks with a patching compound similar
to Liquid Steel
®
. Remove any mildew with a solution of
bleach and water and rinse thoroughly. Sprinkle the
cleaner on a wet scrub pad (included) and let stand for 15
seconds. Scrub the surface to remove all dirt, grease, oil,
soap film and hard water deposits. Thoroughly rinse the
entire surface, making sure all residue has been removed.
..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.)
Soap scum is often not visible to the eye. To ensure all
soap scum has been removed, run hand along surface of
the tile. If a rough, dull, or tacky surface exists, additional
cleaning is necessary. Repeat cleaning until the tile feels
clean and has a smooth surface. To aid in cleaning,
household cleaners (i.e. Comet
®
or LimeAway
®
) can be
used.
Remove all caulk around tub surrounds, counters, ledges,
mirrors, showerheads, etc. Plug the drain so no caulk
residue falls in and remove all caulk from the surface.
Rubbing alcohol also works well for cleaning soap scum
and caulk residue.
Inspect the grout between the tiles for any cracks, chips or
holes. Repair grout first by re-grouting severely damaged
areas or filling in with a 2-part epoxy putty before moving
on to the next step. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
and allow for proper dry time before applying Tile
Transformations. Use 2” painter’s tape to mask off the
edges of the tile that meets the wall and other immovable
fixtures.
APPLICATION
APPLICATION OF THE TEXTURED BOND COAT
IMPORTANT: Contents of the solvent based Textured
Bond Coat are flammable until dry. Extinguish all flames
and pilot lights, and turn off stoves, heaters, electric
motors and other sources of ignition during use until
project is complete. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame. Do not use bathroom ventilation fan. Do not smoke.
Apply when air (ambient) and surface temperature is 60-
85°F (16-29°C) and the relative humidity is below 85%.
Apply the Textured Bond Coat within 90 minutes of mixing
Part A Activator with Part B Base.
Cover tub or shower area with drop cloths. Wearing
disposable gloves and safety glasses, pour all of Part A
Activator into the Part B Base and thoroughly mix with a
stir stick for a minimum of 2 minutes. Pour one-fourth of
the mixture into a clean paint tray and cover remaining
product. To maximize working time, do not pour the entire
product into the tray. Work in manageable areas when
rolling the Textured Bond Coat. Working with a partner,
have the first person apply the Textured Bond Coat using
a 2” synthetic brush to the outside edges including
corners. Be careful not to work too far ahead of the partner
rolling.
