How long does Epoxy Weld Bonding Compound take to cure on Ceramic / Porcelain Tile?

Epoxy Weld Bonding Compound takes 24 hours to fully cure on Ceramic / Porcelain Tile at 70°F and 50% RH. Temperature and humidity significantly affect this — use the calculator on this page for an adjusted estimate at your actual conditions.

How do I prepare Ceramic / Porcelain Tile before applying Epoxy Weld Bonding Compound?

Wipe glazed tiles with isopropyl alcohol. Unglazed tiles bond more aggressively. For tile repairs, roughen the back of the replacement tile with 60-grit before applying adhesive.

Surface Prep — Ceramic / Porcelain Tile

1Wipe glazed tiles with isopropyl alcohol. Unglazed tiles bond more aggressively.
2For tile repairs, roughen the back of the replacement tile with 60-grit before applying adhesive.
3Epoxy adhesives give the strongest, most waterproof bond for structural tile repairs.
4Allow 24 hours before grouting even if the adhesive labels say faster — tile movement can crack grout.
