1. 1. The base paste and the hardener come in containers which contain the correct proportions in accordance with the required amounts of each. Mix mechanically with a suitable stirring device (e.g. a spiral stirrer) until you obtain a smooth, lump-free paste. aplica Junta Epoxi can be used at temperatures of between 18 – 20º C for up to 80 minutes. At lower temperatures, the open application time is longer, and at higher temperatures it is shorter.
   2. Apply aplica Junta Epoxi  in dry joints using an spatula or a plastic or rubber trowel. Remove any excess paste to leave a clean finishing. Any excess paste should be removed with water and a scouring pad or hard sponge, always within the open application time of approx. 80 minutes. This paste should then be collected carefully using a soft sponge. This also helps to smooth out the joint. Avoid accumulation of residual membranes on top of wall or floor tiles.
   3. To prevent the reduction of the open application time due to spontaneous heating, we recommend applying aplica Junta Epoxi  on the surface immediately after the mortar has been mixed. If you have any doubts, apply first in a small test area.

• Structured floor, wall tiles and those with porous surfaces may become covered in a residual membrane after the joints have been sealed.
• Carry out a test in an area which is not easily visible and remember the warnings provided by the manufacturers.
• Excess material should not be cleaned up with hot water.
• Do not use diluents, solvents or water to adjust the consistency of the mortar. aplica Junta Epoxi t should not be used at temperatures below 10º C or above 30º C.
• All work tools should be washed with water and a brush before the mortar is hardened.
• May cause eye and skin irritation.
• Can cause an allergic reaction.
• Harmful if ingested.
• Can cause cauterisation if allowed to act for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• If the product comes into contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
• Wear protective gloves and glasses when mixing this product.
• Work clothing must be kept clean. Change your clothes when they become dirty.

Once it has hardened, aplica Junta Epoxi  is resistant to salty water and bleach, as well as to a series of other diluted products, acids, organic liquids and mineral compounds. For resistance to chemical products, see Technical Features. For special uses, please contact us. This smooth, airtight, single-colour sealant keeps out dirt and is resistant to domestic detergents or swimming pool detergents.

White aplica Epoxy Joint can sometimes become a yellow colour. If the product comes into contact with substances which can stain, e.g. coffee, tea, fruit juices or others, aplica cannot guarantee that this product will not change colour. Resistance to chemical products is achieved approximately 7 days after application (18ºC – 20ºC).
