Application Guidelines
- Application Temperature: 20°F to 100°F
- Service Temperature Range: 0°F to 120°F
- Working Time: Approximately 15 minutes for a 1/4” bead
- Prep: Surfaces must be clean and free of any material that may prevent adequate adhesion.
- Application: Cut tip straight across for 1/4’’ to 3/8’’ bead. Puncture inner seal and place in cartridge gun. Apply adhesive to each furring strip, stud or floor joist to be covered. Adhere materials within 15 minutes or before skinning of adhesive occurs. Position material to be bonded and press firmly for full contact with adhesive. Note: For subfloors, apply adhesive to joists for one sheet at a time. Nail or screw each sheet as recommended by the American Plywood Association.
