The surface is cleaned, washed, removed dirt and dust. The paint is removed. If you can not do this (for example, waterproof paint) - zashkurivayut. After that, apply a primer. To protect from moisture, a waterproofing solution is used (if water gets on the surface or plaster is applied).

Mix the adhesive solution in a ratio of three parts of the glue and one part of the water. Leave for 10 minutes. At the end of time, mix well. If the consistency seems unsuitable, add water or a dry glutinous mixture. Stirred.

Then a thin layer of the obtained solution is applied to the prepared surface. And you need to do this in a small area, which can be processed until the solution is seized (10 minutes). To ensure that the tile is level, cross stitches are inserted into the seams. After the tiles dry, the crosses are removed. Seams are filled with special compounds (fugues).
