E-Z Patch® 3 (White) Thinset Pool Tile Setting Cement contains a special formula which bonds better and allows all tiles to be reset flush with the existing tiles including cap tile or dry clay tile. This product contains special modified materials with pozzolans (siliceous volcanic ash) and polymers.
Repair work must be done above water (with the water level lowered). Liquid acrylic bonder is not needed on this kit. All of our cement repair kits may be color adjusted using any cement dye. After doing the repairs, the pool may be refilled the next day. Available in 1 lb., 3 lb., 10 lb. & 50 lb. sizes.
Before mixing and applying the repair material, make sure it is the right color and material match! It is sometimes hard to see exactly what the color will be from computer monitor screens.
Take a small amount of dry material out of the repair kit and mix with water to be the consistency of “Putty”. Then, wet the existing surface that you are trying to match and compare the wet sample to the wet existing surface. If the material needs to be darker, add a very small amount of E-Z Patch Black Cement Dye and dry mix well. If the material needs to be lighter, add a very small amount of E-Z Patch Titanium Dioxide White Cement Colorant and dry mix well. Both colors are available on our website. You can also use any good cement dye. Repeat this process until the color match is satisfactory.

E-Z INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Lower water below repair area.
2. Remove any loose material or dust from area where tile is to be set.
3. Make sure tile fits flush before setting.
4. Add water to E-Z PATCH® 3 DRY CEMENT MIX and mix until you get the consistency of “mashed
potatoes.
5. Apply E-Z PATCH® 3 to the setting surface or the back of the tile itself (apply with a ¼” notched trowel
if needed) and firmly push tile into place. If the tile is not flush use less E-Z PATCH® 3. If more than ¼”
thickness is needed to set tile flush, apply a thin coat of E-Z PATCH® 3 on the setting surface and tile,
then use E-Z PATCH® 4 tile grout to build-up area so tile sets flush with existing tile.
6. Wait until tile is stiff before grouting with E-Z PATCH® 4.
7. You may refill water the next day.
