Surface preparation
- Ensure surfaces are dry, smooth, clean and free of dust, oil, paint or contaminants that could limit adhesion.
- Prime highly porous concrete or timber with a suitable primer as directed by the manufacturer.
- Level or repair imperfections with a compatible floor leveller or floor repair compound before bonding.
Application
- Apply an even coat to the subfloor using a 1.6 × 1.6 × 1.6 mm V notched trowel.
- Allow adhesive to become tacky before laying vinyl. Typical tack time is about 10 minutes, longer in cool conditions and shorter in warm conditions. Do not allow a skin to form.
- Lay the vinyl into the adhesive.
- Roll firmly in both directions to ensure full transfer to the back of the vinyl.
Clean up
- Clean tools and spills immediately with warm soapy water.
- Remove dried adhesive with mineral turps.
Conditions and storage
- Apply between 8°C and 35°C with adequate ventilation.
- Shelf life: 12 months in unopened container stored at approximately 20°C.
Good to know
- Use a roller after placement to improve bond and minimise bubbles.
- Coverage varies with subfloor condition, porosity and trowel technique.
