• Direct to earth subfloors must incorporate an efficient damp proof membrane

Priming

• Ensure substrate is suitable for the adhesive before application

Application

• Stir the adhesive thoroughly before use and apply an even continuous coating, using a ‘V’ notched trowel size 1 mm x 4 mm
• With some rubber floor coverings, it is recommended that the adhesive is applied to the floor with the ‘V’ notched trowel and to the back of the rubber with a flat spreader
• Refer to the Flooring Manufacturer’s instructions
• For vertical surfaces, a bristle brush application may be convenient
• Allow the solvents to evaporate until the adhesive on both surfaces is ‘touch dry’. This may take approximately 5 to 45 minutes, according to prevailing conditions
• Place the materials accurately into position and press firmly to exclude air and ensure overall contact.
• On horizontal surfaces, roll in both directions using a 68kg flooring roller.

LIMITATION

• This product is not suitable for use with certain types of PUR vinyl
