- Direction for Use
Follow industry standards, as well as hardwood flooring manufacturer’s recommendations for acclimation, design, layout and application of wood flooring material. If jobsite conditions are outside of flooring manufacturer’s recommendations, take necessary corrective actions.
- Surface Preparation
- Surfaces must be clean, dry and fat, free of voids, projections, loose materials, oil, grease, sealers and all other surface contaminants.
- Completely remove any adhesive residue or surface contamination by diamond grinding, shot blasting or scarifying.
- Wood should test less than 12% moisture using a wood moisture meter. To ensure proper adhesion to concrete, surface texture must be similar to light broom finished; concrete should not be smooth or reflective.
- Areas requiring patching or leveling must be done using a Portland cement-based material. Maximum acceptable floor variation is 3/16” in 10 feet.
- Applications
- Engineered hardwood flooring
- Finished & Unfinished Solid Wood
- Bamboo
- Acrylic impregnated hardwood flooring
- Curing
Humidity affects cure to a greater degree than temperature; the higher the humidity, the faster the cure. Under normal conditions, light foot traffic is acceptable after 6 to 8 hours; normal traffic after 12-16 hours.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Trowel Selector Guide/ Coverage Chart
Trowel size is suggested to maximize coverage of adhesive. Periodically check coverage of adhesive during installation : >80% coverage is required for all engineered wood flooring; >95% coverage is required for all solid wood flooring products. Please note: It is the installer’s responsibility to apply the proper amount of adhesive for the job condition.
