Installation Guide – Dolomite Polished Marble Pencil Liner
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Ensure Stability and Cleanliness
- Confirm the wall or surface is dry, clean, and free of dust or oil.
- Install all surrounding tile or field tile prior to setting pencil liners.
- Mark horizontal or vertical guide lines where the pencil liner will be placed for accurate alignment.
Step 2: Dry Layout – Plan and Cut
- Dry-lay pencil liners to visualize placement and veining alignment.
- Measure and cut using a wet saw with a fine diamond blade for clean edges.
- Check all transitions and corners before adhesive application.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Secure Placement
Recommended Adhesives:
- Mapei Ultraflex LFT White
- Laticrete 254 Platinum (white)
Instructions:
- Use a margin trowel or small notched trowel to apply thin-set mortar on the back of each pencil liner.
- Back-butter for full contact and press into place gently along the layout line.
- Support with painter’s tape if installed vertically or above ground level to prevent slippage while curing.
Step 4: Grouting – Minimal and Clean Finish
- Wait 24 hours for adhesive to cure before grouting.
- Use non-sanded grout to avoid scratching the polished marble surface.
- Wipe off excess grout immediately using a damp sponge.
- Buff with a microfiber cloth to remove any residue after 30–45 minutes.
Step 5: Sealing – Protect the Stone
- Once grout has cured (typically 72 hours), apply a penetrating marble-safe sealer.
- Repeat sealing periodically depending on the exposure to water or cleaning agents.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean with pH-neutral, non-abrasive stone cleaners.
- Avoid vinegar, bleach, and acidic agents that may damage the polished surface.
- Dust or gently wipe surfaces regularly to preserve shine.
