How to Apply Aqua Base?

Aqua Base is applied with a stainless steel trowel in a thin, even layer.
Detailed answer
Apply Aqua Base with a stainless steel trowel in a thin layer, pressing it into the substrate. The correct thickness is determined by the material's grain size, typically up to 1 mm. For reinforcement layers or old tiles, two layers may be required. On floors, it is advisable to allow the layer to cure longer before the next step, usually until the following day. Apply pressure with the trowel and use compression to smooth the screed so it is level with the grain.
Common mistakes
- applying a thick layer instead of a thin layer levelled to the grain
- sanding without thoroughly vacuuming dust
- rushing between layers and not allowing sufficient drying time
