Directions for use For Tile Injection based on Patent # 5,000,890
-
Identify hollow tiles by tapping lightly with a rubber mallet or small wooden dowel.
-
Use blue painters’ tape to mark the area and take a picture for future proof of where you have injected and repaired the floor.
-
Drill into the grout joint with 4 to 8 injector holes around the loose tiles.
-
Drill slightly below the tile being careful not to drill into the edges of the tile.
-
Do not drill into the sub-floor.
-
Vacuum or shop vac each hole, tapping gently to loosen debris.
-
Cut tip to desired size if using the 10 oz tube. (Otherwise fill your refillable caulk gun with adhesive from the gallon size).
-
Using a standard or refillable caulking gun, insert cut tip into injector hole.
-
Apply light pressure while keeping tip off of the sub-floor and squeeze slowly.
-
If a hole is blocked, move on to the next hole and inject until you see the adhesive come up through the other holes.
-
If no adhesive comes up, check with rubber mallet to make sure the sound is solid.
-
Clean up with warm water using a damp sponge or rag.
-
Place weighted objects such as buckets of water on the injected area and allow 12 to 24 hours drying time.

Re-fill injected holes with matching caulk or grout.
