Yes, Mas Maya Coating can be used on tiles. Its excellent adhesion properties make it suitable for application over various surfaces, including existing tiles. Here’s how to properly apply Mas Maya Coating to tiles:

1. Surface Preparation:
• Clean the tiles thoroughly to remove any grease, dirt, or loose particles.
• Ensure the tile surface is dry and free from any contaminants.
• Repair any damaged or loose tiles before starting the application process and fill in the grouting to ensure the surface is flat and smooth with Mas Maya Base.
• Apply Mas Maya Primer to enhance adhesion, especially on non-porous surfaces like tiles, Silestone, or plastic. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying times.
2. Mixing:
• Mix the Mas Maya Coating powder with clean water at a ratio of 1/3 liter of water per kilogram of powder.
• The powder and water can be mixed by hand or with a mechanical drill. Mix the powder and water until a smooth, yogurt-like texture is achieved. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes before use.
3. Application:
• First Coat:
• Using a steel plaster trowel, apply a thin, even coat of approximately 2mm of Mas Maya across the entire tiled surface. Hold the trowel at a shallow angle (about 15-30 degrees) for best results.
• Let the first coat dry overnight, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Second Coat:
• Lightly spray the surface with water to prolong the working time.
• Apply the second coat in a similar manner to the first, but use varied, slightly overlapping trowel strokes at different angles for a more organic finish.
• Let the second coat dry overnight.
4. Finishing:
• Burnishing/Polishing:
• Once the final coat is partially dry but still pliable, begin burnishing by pressing firmly with a clean steel trowel in short, overlapping strokes at varying angles to create a polished, marbled sheen. If more working time is needed, spray the surface lightly with water.
• Let the coat dry overnight.
• Sanding:
• Sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 200 grain) until the desired smooth, polished finish is achieved.
• Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dust.
5. Sealing (Optional):
• For areas exposed to water, apply a sealer for added water resistance and durability, especially in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
