Styccobond F46 - Flooring Adhesive

STIR WELL BEFORE USE

Holding the trowel at an angle of 60°, spread the adhesive evenly over the subfloor. Following the floorcovering manufacturers laying instructions and using the guidelines given below, place the floorcovering into the adhesive and press from the centre outwards to exclude any air; then roll from end to end and side to side using the 68kg flooring roller. 1 to 4 hours later roll again in two directions.

Absorbent surfaces

Apply the adhesive using a STYCCOBOND A2 or 1.5mm x 5mm ‘V’ notched trowel. Immediately roll with a paint roller which has been pre-coated with adhesive, to obtain a smooth, uniform appearance. This will minimise adhesive grin through and maximise surface area of contact for adhesion. Alternatively use the A1 trowel. Floorcoverings can be placed into the adhesive immediately although it is advisable, when installing tiles, to leave the adhesive for approximately 10 minutes before placing the flooring, reducing the potential for sliding.

Non-absorbent surfaces

Apply the adhesive as previously described but allow the adhesive to dry to a firm tack before laying the floorcovering. Roll tiles immediately after placement into the dry adhesive film using a 68kg flooring roller.

Do not use the paint roller to extend the area covered by the adhesive, as this will reduce adhesion.

Note: When trowelling the adhesive directly onto cured STOPGAP waterproof surface membranes, ensure that the

membrane is not damaged or punctured by the trowel.
