Safety Precautions
Wash hands after use.
Preparation
For best results, the temperature of the adhesive, the surfaces and the working area must be above 57°F (14°C). One surface must be porous. Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of grease, dust and other contaminants. To obtain maximum adhesion, surfaces should be flat to provide adequate contact. Painted surfaces must be well cured and free of loose paint. Sand glossy surfaces to a dull finish. Pre-fit all materials prior to applying adhesive. Cut the tip off the cartridge nozzle to desired bead size.
Application
Apply a continuous bead to one of the surfaces then press material firmly into place within 20 minutes. Repositioning time is approximately 15 minutes, depending on bead size. For decks, apply a continuous bead on every joist to increase strength and prevent squeaking. Nail or screw planks at every joist. Pre-drill nail holes to prevent wood splits. For larger areas such as panels, apply adhesive around the perimeter 2'' (5 cm) in from the edge and vertically every 12'' (30 cm). Alternatively apply a continuous bead to all furring strips, studs and top and bottom plates. When applying materials to a vertical surface, the maximum vertical load the adhesive is safely rated for on a porous substrate is 20 lbs/ft2 (10 g/cm2) of bond area. Do not use in outdoor applications if rain is forecasted within 24 hours of application or protect work area from rain. Full strength and water resistance develops after 7 days.
Cleanup
Clean tools and adhesive residue immediately with soapy water. Cured adhesive may be carefully cut away with a sharp-edged tool.
