The minimum joint width is now 3mm.
JOINTEX EASY JOINT can be used in two different ways:
a) First way ( traditional way )
1. Watering the surface
2. Open the bucket and empty the plastic back onto the surface that is to be joint fixed.
3. Using a hard broom or rubber broom, work the material in a deep, firm and compact into the joints.
4. Brush away any remaining mortar residue with a soft broom diagonally to the surface.FINISHED!!!!No further equipment or additives are necessary.
b) Second way ……NEW ……NEW ……NEW
1. Watering the surface
2. To achieve a better self-compacting result without a visible shiny surface, the area can be well pre-wet with water.
3. Open the bucket and pour JOINTEX® EASY Joint onto the surface that is to be joint fixed.
4. Using a hard broom or rubber broom, work the material in a deep, firm and compact into the joints.
5. After approx. 10 minutes flush the material into the joints with a spray-like jet of water.< So you achieve a better self-compacting result > Sagged joints should be refilled.
6. Brush away any remaining mortar residue with a soft broom diagonally to the surface.FINISHED !!!!
This technique should only be applied to surfaces with highly water-permeable subsoil.
Curing Time
The first technique ( traditional technique)
The surface can be walked on after approximately 6 to 8 hours and is fully load-bearing after Approximately 3 days(Calculation: ca. +20° C and ca. 65% humidity )
Second technique new…..new….new…new
The surface needs a much longer hardening time. Approximately 48 hours (Calculation: ca. +20° C and ca. 65% humidity) High temperatures increase, low temperatures decrease hardening times. Clean used working tools with water or with the usual cleaner.
Not in the hands of children!!
