NOTE: Factory-coated units should be specified when
experience indicates that application of wax in the
field is unsatisfactory.
**************************************************************************
[Factory] coat with hot paraffin wax to produce a thin continuous film on
the face surfaces only of quarry tile units to be installed and grouted
with furan. Apply wax in such manner that it will not get on edges or
backs of tile. Handle tile in a manner that will prevent waxed surfaces of
units from touching the backs or edges of other units. Remove tile with
wax on edges or backs from the job. Verify that wax used is acceptable to
grout manufacturer. With flatback or serrated back tile use 6 mm 1/4 inch
square notched trowel with notches on 13 mm 1/2 inch on centers.
