INSTRUCTIONS
Limitations

- This adhesive is not recommended over asphalt roofs

Preparation
Subfloors must be structurally sound, dry, smooth, at (≤3/16″ within 10′),
level and free of excess moisture/alkali and all contaminants (oil, debris,
paint, sealers, adhesive residue, etc.) that may inhibit the bond of the
adhesive or the performance of the flooring and its installation. All
substrate cracks, chips, holes, joints, high spots and irregularities must be
adequately repaired. Patching compounds must be suitable for the use
application, cement-based and polymer-modified, and applied according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Installation
Materials and area temperature must be between 65–95°F with a maximum RH of 65% for 48 hours before and during installation, as well as for 72 hours afterward. Large temperature or humidity increases or decreases can affect the flooring and performance of the installation. Lift a corner periodically to ensure 100% coverage of adhesive to the floor backing and the substrate to ensure a void-free bond. Spread adhesive uniformly. Adhesive ridges should be of sufficient height to achieve full coverage of the substrate and the back of the flooring. Place flooring into the adhesive while the adhesive is still fresh. The amount of time in which you have to place the flooring will vary with temperature and humidity.
Clean-up
Fresh adhesive – warm, soapy water on a clean cloth. Dried adhesive – use
mineral spirits sparingly with a clean, white cotton cloth. DO NOT POUR
DIRECTLY ONTO FLOORING
