• Service Taking Time: 24 hours.

• Consumption (Double-Sided): Average $3 – 5\text{ kg/m}^2$.

Surface Preparation

• Care must be taken to ensure that the application surface is solid, dry, load-bearing, dust-free, clean, and also level.

• The surface must be thoroughly cleaned from any oil, grease, rust, and paraffin residues that would weaken adhesion, and there should be no loose particles on the surface.

• Defective surfaces with a depth of 5 to 20 mm must be repaired with MODEW Repair Mortars two days in advance.

• If the temperature of the application surface is above $+25^{\circ}\text{C}$, the surface must be dampened.

• On gypsum-based surfaces, high-absorbency gypsum cardboard, gypsum plaster, aerated concrete, lime plaster, and chipboard, MODEW Primer is applied.

• Bonding can proceed 5 minutes after primer application.

• For wood chip-based surfaces (OSB and Wood Chips), wood chip boards must contain a maximum of %10 moisture.

• Wood chip boards applied to floors must be a minimum of $25\text{ mm}$, and those applied to walls must be $19\text{ mm}$.

• Boards must be screwed to the surface at $30\text{ cm}$ intervals.

• The edge joint must be at least $8\text{ mm}$ wide.

• Grooves should be opened at the joining points of the chips and filled with Joint Filler Mastic.

• Wood chipboards should be primed with WALLBOND 5001 Primer in dry environments.

• If the boards are in places exposed to moisture (exterior facades), they are applied in two coats with mesh reinforcement using Full Flexible Waterproofing Material.

Application

• A $1\text{ mm}$ thick layer of PROPOOL 5065 is applied to the application surface using the flat side of the trowel.

• PROPOOL 5065 is pulled in a single direction with the notched side of the trowel to achieve a uniform thickness over an area that can be covered within the 30-minute open time.

• When bonding ceramics or granites of different thicknesses, it is recommended to apply a $1\text{ mm}$ thick layer of mortar under each ceramic or granite to cover irregularities on the application surface.

• While placing the ceramics or granites into position, PROPOOL 5065 is floated within the mortar to ensure they make complete contact.

• The application is completed by leaving the recommended joint spacing according to the appropriate ceramic or granite size.

• FUGA SİL 5020 Joint Fillers should be used to fill the left joint spaces.

• Grouting of the joints can be started after approximately 24 hours.
