Method Statement Adesilex P10 + Isolastic

This document provides installation instructions for applying ADESILEX P10, a white cementitious tile adhesive, mixed with ISOLASTIC latex additive. Key steps include: 1) Surface preparation including ensuring surfaces are clean, sound and free of contaminants. Moisture content must be below 2%. 2) Mixing the adhesive by slowly adding powder to a container of water and ISOLASTIC and mixing for 4 minutes. 3) Applying the adhesive to the substrate and back of tiles using a notched trowel and embedding tiles within the working time. Joints can be grouted after 4-8 hours for walls and 24 hours for floors.
