5. Installation Instructions
Surface Preparation
Allow new grout installations to cure at least 48 hours or according
to grout manufacturer's cure time. Grout cure can be extended by
environmental conditions such as low temperature or high humidity.
For heavily soiled, sealed, or old grout, clean grout with a mild acid
cleaner, or if acid sensitive tile or stone, use an alkaline based
cleaner.
Mixing
Use full strength. Do not thin or dilute.
Application
Shake well before using. Test in a small inconspicuous area prior to
complete application. Apply in small workable sections. Apply
narrow bead of Recolor on the grout joint. Using a toothbrush, or
similar applicator, spread product evenly along grout joint with a
scrubbing motion. While still wet, wipe off excess from surrounding
tile with a damp (not wet) towel or sponge. When product is dry to
touch (usually 30-60 minutes), lightly clean the tile with a damp (not
wet) towel or sponge to remove haze. Changing grout colors light to
dark or dark to light may require an extra application. Two thin coats
are better than one heavy coat.
Drying Time
Depends on temperature, humidity and hardness of the grout.
Generally a second coat may be applied after 30 minutes. Light foot
traffic after 3-4 hours. Keep grout dry and avoid heavy scrubbing for
7 to 10 days.
Maintenance
Use a suitable neutral PH tile and grout cleaner.
Expected Wear
Up to 15 years. Unusually heavy traffic patterns may require
periodic touch up to maintain uniform color and protection.
