The difference between epoxy colored sand and beauty sewing agent
Construction difficulty:
The construction of epoxy color sand is relatively close to cement, relatively simple, and the construction of the beauty joint agent to ensure that the floor tile gap is dry and dust-free, and needs to be beaten with a glue gun, and this glue is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, and then you have to press the joint, wait for curing, etc., the process is relatively complex, and the difficulty is greater.
Practicality:
Epoxy colored sand is more practical. The adhesion of epoxy colored sand is strong and moisture-proof, so in a relatively humid space like the bathroom, the use of epoxy colored sand does not have to worry about falling off later, and the service life is longer.

The construction steps of the sewing agent
Clean up the crevices
Before starting construction, we must do a good job of cleaning, and clean up the dust, floating ash, cement, and water stains in the gaps before we can start to do beautiful seams, so as to avoid uneven and bubbles caused by sundries.
Construction protection
Wax needs to be applied to the tile before gluing, so that it is convenient to remove the remaining material in the later stage, and it can also protect the tile.
Beautiful sewing construction
After installing the glue gun, 20cm of material should be extruded to ensure that the AB group is evenly mixed and then start gluing. During construction, the pipe and the tile are at an angle of 45°, grasp the strength and speed, and fill at a uniform speed.
Seam treatment
The seam pressing step is relatively simple, but it must be done quickly, and the operation needs to be completed within 10-15 minutes. If the delay is too long and the material solidifies, there is no way to press the seam.
Remove the remaining material
It is recommended that within 2-3 hours of construction, according to the actual temperature and environment, a special shovel will be used to clean up the surface of the tile that is not completely dry and cured.

Clean the tile gaps, leaving a depth of 3mm, and keep the gaps dry and free of water stains.
Stir the colored sand
Stir the required material evenly according to the proportion, you can stir a small amount first, and make a group of stirring once, so as to avoid the curing of the material before it is used up.
Fill in the gaps
The scraper takes a small amount of colored sand and fills it in the tile gap little by little, you can scrape while filling, and the excess colored sand can be used in other gaps as long as it is not solidified.
Remove the remaining material
Scrape off the remaining material on the surface of the tile, and at the same time compact the colored sand in the gap, so that the colored sand is fully in contact with the gap.
Scrub the remaining material
Epoxy color sand can be washed off with water before curing, you can add some cleaning agent to the clean water, scrub the ground with a sponge, scrub with a circle to avoid bringing out the color sand in the gaps, change the water to clean the sponge during the scrubbing process, when the water stains on the surface of the tile are no longer milky white, it means that the scrubbing is clean, you can use a rag to wipe the water stains on the surface dry, waiting for curing.
