Surface Preparation & Application:

Preparation:

1. Temperature of floor, floor covering and adhesive must be 45º F to 100º F unless otherwise recommended

by floor covering manufacturer.

2. When using in confined outdoor areas, provide adequate ventilation so that vapors cannot concentrate in one

place.

3. Bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and free of wax, grease, dirt, paint, other contaminates and moisture

due to hydrostatic pressure.

Application:

1. Lay out floor covering according to manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Apply adhesive evenly to clean floor using recommended trowel size.

3. “Legs” must develop before lowering the carpet into the adhesive. To determine if “legs” have developed,

place a scrap piece of material into the adhesive-then pull the scrap away. If strings or “legs” appear,

proceed to step 4. If no “legs” appear, wait 5 minutes and repeat this step.

4. Once “legs” develop, lay the floor covering into the adhesive. Roll in both directions with a 75 pound roller.

If installing foam or sponge backed carpet, use a cardboard carpet core to smooth out the carpet.

5. If bubbles occur, insert an awl in the center of the bubble to allow the vapor to escape, then smooth it out..

6. If necessary to make seams, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to seal the seams and complete the

installation.

7. Do not expose to heavy traffic for 24 hours.
