To install pitch mastic, first ensure the surface is clean and dry. Heat the mastic to the recommended temperature, typically around 350°F (175°C), using a proper heating method. Apply the mastic evenly using a trowel or putty knife, filling any gaps or joints as needed. Finally, allow it to cool and set according to the manufacturer's instructions before use.
When using mastic to install a tile backsplash, it is important to follow these best practices: Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the mastic. Use a notched trowel to spread the mastic evenly on the surface. Press the tiles firmly into the mastic, making sure they are level and aligned. Allow the mastic to dry completely before grouting the tiles. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper application and drying times.

For a pitch mastic floor, it is best to use an adhesive specifically designed for use with asphalt or mastic surfaces.
