Mixing and applying Fuga-Pave Flex CH Grout is a straightforward process that ensures durable and aesthetically pleasing joints for your paving projects. Here's a step-by-step guide: Materials Needed Fuga-Pave Flex CH Grout (available in 5kg or 20kg packages) Clean water Clean mixing bucket A paddle mixer Neoprene squeegee Pedalo washboy or similar cleaning tool Protective gloves Mixing Instructions 1. Prepare Water: Pour approximately 3.37 litres (¾ of the total required amount) of clean water into the mixing bucket for a 20kg bag of grout. 2. Add Grout Powder: Gradually introduce the Fuga-Pave Flex CH Grout into the water while continuously mixing from the bottom up using the paddle mixer. 3. Adjust Consistency: Slowly add the remaining 1.13 litres of water until achieving a smooth, lump-free mixture. The final consistency should be creamy and workable. 4. Mixing Time: Continue mixing for approximately 3–5 minutes to ensure all components are thoroughly combined. 5. Only mix an amount of grout that can be applied within 60 minutes Application Process 1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the paving surface and joints are clean, free from debris, and slightly dampened to prevent premature drying of the grout. 2. Applying Grout: Using a neoprene squeegee or rubber float, spread the mixed grout diagonally across the joints, ensuring they are completely filled. 3. Remove Excess Grout: After filling the joints, remove surplus grout from the surface by moving the squeegee or float at a 45-degree angle to the joints. 4. Initial Cleaning: Allow the grout to set for approximately 15–30 minutes, then use a damp sponge or the Pedalo washboy to clean the tile surfaces, taking care not to disturb the grout lines. 5. Final Cleaning: Once the grout has sufficiently hardened, perform a final cleaning to remove any remaining haze or residue from the surface. 6. Note: For large areas, utilizing an electric sponge machine can expedite the cleaning process and enhance the final appearance. Curing 1. Protect the grouted area from foot traffic, water exposure, and extreme temperatures for at least 24 hours to allow proper curing. 2. By following these steps, you can achieve a professional and durable finish with Fuga-Pave Flex CH Grout.
