Surface Preparation & Application:
1. Surfaces must be clean, structurally sound and free of foreign material.
2. Pre-cut and fit materials before applying adhesive.
3. Trim nozzle to desired bead size. 3/8” bead is recommended for subfloor applications.
4. Puncture inner foil seal
5. Load cartridge into caulking gun.
6. Apply a continuous bead to joists, studs or backside of siding or panels.
7. Within 15 minutes, position and press substrates firmly into place. If left open longer than 15 minutes,
scrape off and reapply.
8. Install nails or screws within 15 minutes.
9. Allow to dry for 24 hours before exposing to heavy traffic.
Application Tips:
Tongue & Groove Subfloor: Use a 3/8” continuous bead on joists. Use ample bead of adhesive in all grooved channels (remove excess squeezed out adhesive before it dries.) Panel joints should not be tight. Allow 1/8” gap for expansion. Position and nail or screw within 30 minutes. Proper installation methods for subfloorings must be followed.
Decks: Use 1/4” adhesive bead on every joist for additional strength and to prevent squeaks. Nail planks at every other joist. Pre-drill nail holes.
