Direction for use
For the installation of composition tiles & textured backed carpet tiles & double bond underlays, apply adhesive using a 1.6mm x 1.6mm x 1.6mm “V” notched spreader with approx coverage of 5m² per litre. When installing smooth backed carpet tiles and smooth backed double bond underlay, use a long nap roller with approx coverage of 7m² per litre. Adhesive should be allowed to clear prior to floor covering being placed into the adhesive film. Clear is when the adhesive changes from white wet adhesive to dry clear tacky film of adhesive.
