3. Application
3.1 Before pouring, however, let the mixed grout stand for approximately 5 minutes after
mixing to allow entrapped air to escape.
3.2 Pour the mixed grout into the prepared area such that the grout has the shortest distance
to travel. Ensure that air displaced by the grout is allowed to escape.
3.3 When carrying out base plate grouting, ensure sufficient head of pressure is maintained
to keep mortar flowing.
3.4 Exposed areas of the mortar surface should be kept as small as possible.
3.5 After a certain minutes after the placing of the grout when there are afew air bubbles on
the surface air entrainment, break the bubbles with afine brush.
