Styccobond F44 - Flooring Adhesive

STIR WELL BEFORE USE

Holding the trowel at an angle of 60°, spread the adhesive evenly over an area of subfloor that can be covered whilst the adhesive remains receptive and gives good transfer.

On absorbent surfaces - lay the floorcovering immediately, when installing tiles, leave the adhesive for approximately 10 minutes before placing the flooring, to reduce the potential for sliding.

Non-absorbent surfaces - Apply the adhesive and allow to partially dry to a firm tack before laying the floorcovering. When installing impervious sheet floorcoverings, the Double Drop technique can be used to reduce the time taken waiting for the adhesive to dry. Lay the floorcovering into the wet adhesive, press all over to achieve transfer, then pull it back exposing the adhesive. Leave until the

adhesive has dried to a firm tack before replacing the flooring accurately in position.

Roller application – On both absorbent and non-absorbent subfloors, to minimise the effect of adhesive shadowing through vinyl floorcoverings, apply the adhesive then

immediately roll with a paint roller, which has been pre-coated with the adhesive, to obtain a smooth, uniform appearance. Place the floorcovering when the adhesive has dried to a firm tack and is still receptive to the floorcovering.

DO NOT use the roller to extend the stated coverage as this will reduce adhesion.

Following the floorcovering manufacturers laying instructions lay the floorcovering into the adhesive and press from the centre outwards to exclude air and ensure overall contact with the adhesive. Roll with the 68kg flooring roller, from end-to-end and side-to-side (on foam backed floorcoverings use the STYCCOBOND Glyda) to ensure overall contact. 30 minutes later and when the floor has been completely covered roll or use the STYCCOBOND Glyda as necessary to ensure overall contact is maintained.
