    Materials such as tiles or floor tiles will be used for home renovation. After laying, in order to achieve a better decorative effect, caulk is needed to fill the gaps between these tiles to achieve a better visual effect. However, in the construction process, it is necessary to understand more about the precautions for using caulk, so as to achieve correct use and construction.

    Be careful not to use acidic cleaners to clean the surface of the caulking bricks. Tile grout should not be applied in rainy weather. Avoid rain for 12 days after construction, especially in rainy days.

    Do not mix dry mortar with water for secondary use. Remember to leave expansion joints for large-scale construction, maintain them once after construction, and maintain them for the second time after 48 years. For unglazed tiles, antique tiles and tiles with porous surfaces, it is recommended to use special grouting tools during construction to avoid contamination of the tiles.

    After caulking, the residual caulk should be cleaned up in time, because if the stay time is too long, the caulk is not easy to remove, which will affect the appearance.

    If the surface of the brick is not only rough, the gaps are too large, but the gaps are filled with black caulk, then it is recommended to use the method of direct hooking to reduce the amount of work required to clean the surface of the masonry. The above mentioned is the general way to use it. However, based on the gap between the individual construction environment and the materials used, it is recommended to conduct field tests before construction to ensure reliability.

    For unglazed tiles, antique tiles, and porous tiles, it is recommended to use special grout materials during construction to prevent the tiles from being polluted. After caulking, the residual caulk should be cleaned up in time. If the dwell time is too long, the caulk will not be simply removed, which will affect the aesthetics.

    Make sure the application primer must be flat, strong, and dust-free. Do not use low-quality white cement and caulk to lay the foundation for narrow joints. The width of the seam should be the same, and it is best to use a plastic cross to locate (the cross is sold in the building materials city supermarket), otherwise it will affect the appearance.

    The width of the discharge nozzle should be consistent with the width of the sewing to ensure that the fabric can completely cover the base material. When caulking, the discharge must be uniform, easy to less, not more. Note that the length of about 1m should be leveled immediately, and it is impossible to scrape the appearance of the caulk after a period of time.

    When finishing, you can use a short caulk to fill some of the gaps in the brick joints.

    The difference between caulk and beauty sewing agent lies in their product characteristics, aesthetics, surface strength, and **.

    1. Product characteristics: the caulk has good adhesion, strong firmness, anti-crack flexibility, good decorative texture, pressure resistance, wear resistance, mold resistance, and its surface can also be painted, with good waterproofness, color can be prepared by itself.

    And the beauty sewing agent is an upgraded version of the caulk, which has all the advantages of caulk. Moreover, its surface layer is strong and hard as porcelain; The surface is very smooth and clean, very good for hygiene, if it is dirty, it can be cleaned, which is very convenient; Waterproof and moisture-proof, it can avoid the breeding of mold in the cracks and endanger human health; It retains its original color all year round, and will not pollute the tiles during construction.

    2. Appearance: The material of caulk is made of white cement with appropriate inorganic pigments and additives, and its characteristics lead to the fact that after a long period of use, the caulk will be mixed with air medium to precipitate, resulting in the phenomenon of black and mildew of the caulk, and the degree of aesthetics is gradually reduced.

    As an upgraded product of caulk, the beauty sewing agent has been improved in terms of performance and aesthetics, with a high surface gloss, many colors, strong decorative effects, good waterproof performance, and no blackening after a long time.

    3. Surface strength: The surface strength of the caulk is about 86, and the strength of the caulk can reach about 96, it is obvious that the surface strength of the caulk is high, and it has good toughness, which is very suitable for use in places with high caulking requirements, such as bathrooms, kitchens and other places.

    4. **: The beauty sewing agent is higher than the grout in terms of performance and aesthetics, so the beauty sewing agent is definitely higher than the caulk. The ** of general caulk is about 2 yuan kg; The beauty of the sewing agent ranges, from tens to hundreds of yuan, and the most common one also costs more than ten yuan, and the difference is relatively large.

    If there is anything in common between these two materials, it is probably only that they do the same thing. They are all filling materials for ceramic tiles and stone joints, but in fact, the ingredients of caulk and beauty caulk are completely different materials.

    1. Caulk: the ingredients are composed of white cement, trace polymers and pigments; The whiteness of white is about 86%, and the surface strength is slightly higher than that of white cement, which has the advantage of being cheap.

    1. Load the sewing agent into the glue gun, and then slowly and forcefully beat the material evenly into the seam, after laying a piece (about meters), first plug the nozzle with a wooden wedge, and then use a small scraper or fingers to scrape the sewing agent immediately, and the overflowing material on both sides of the brick joint can be wiped off with a moist sponge, and it must be wiped clean before the sewing agent is not solidified. Wash the sponge with water after each wipe so that you can continue to use it for the rest of the day. If the seam width is more than 3mm and the seam filled into the tile joint is relatively uniform, then there is no need to scrape the seam and let it level automatically.

    2. Leave a gap 1 mm deep. Before applying the sewing agent, use a rag or a fine brush to clean up the dust and other magazines in the seam. Paste masking paper on both sides of the sew.

    The masking paper should be left and right from the edge of the gap. Load the sewing agent on the glue gun and drive it evenly along the brick joint. The construction is about 1 meter, and it is immediately applied evenly with fingers or a small spatula; When the sewing agent has not solidified (about 1 meter of construction), remove the masking paper with your hands.

    Of course. The traditional caulk construction is to remove a groove from the tile caulk and apply the caulk to the surface of the caulk, so that the wall can be used for more than ten years, and the ground can also be used for five years: now the new caulk does not need caulk to do the bottom layer, and it can also be directly filled into the tile gap after the tile is bonded.

    However, the cost is larger, and it is recommended that the ground can be filled with a beautiful sewing agent; The wall can be caulked with caulk first, and then made a caulk on the surface, which saves material and labor costs. The details have to be **** to the construction masters of Liangjingjing.

    Before using Lougumei grout, the tile joint should be treated with ordinary cement-based caulk or high-grade white cement mat, and the new caulk should be pressed out of the depth about about the surface of the tile with a tool of suitable shape and size; If the caulk has been filled in advance, the caulk in the tile joint should also be cleaned out with a suitable tool to a depth about about the surface of the brick. After the seam at the bottom of the mat is completely dry, use a vacuum cleaner or brush to thoroughly clean the surface of the work, free of dust, oil and other debris.
