Step 1
To start, clean the tiles and grout joints thoroughly with Rust-Oleum Sugar Soap. Check for damages, such as cracked tiles or missing grout, and make all necessary repairs, ensuring tiles are clean and free from contaminates. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Mask any areas you do not wish to paint.
Step 2
Add activator to the paint can and stir thoroughly – this adhesion promoting activator is an organo-silane, that forms a strong link between the tile and the coating. This greatly increases durability, wear-resistance and adhesion to the tile.
Step 3
Apply 1-2 coats of the Floor Tile Paint. Use a brush to paint any edges and work into the grout joints and use a foam roller to cover larger surface areas. Allow paint to dry and inspect the finish. The formula is touch dry in 1 hour and recoatable in 4 hours; full cure is 7 days, which is when you can move your furniture back in the room.
And that’s it!
