Application Instructions

Moldings and transition strips

Tackless strips

Application Instructions
Clean the floor with a wire brush or a stiff broom. The cleaner the floor, the better the bond. Cut and lay out tackless strips or moldings on the floor. The floor must be dry prior to application. Vinyl or neoprene moldings should be roughened with a wire brush and cleaned with alcohol prior to application.

Moldings and Transition Strips

Assemble cartridge. (Remove plug and attach static mixer prior to use.) Apply one or two beads of material to the floor depending on the width of the molding and the surface texture of the floor. Immediately set the molding into place. Do not allow more than a few minutes of open time. The material will not tack-up like other adhesives. Use tape or weights to hold the molding in place for 10 - 15 minutes until the material cures. At 70°, the moldings can be easily repositioned for the first 5 - 8 minutes. After 5 - 8 minutes, the material will start setting at a rapid pace. Do not reposition the molding at this time. In colder temperatures, cure times will be longer. An electric heat gun may be used to accelerate the cure once the moldings are in place. Clean up excess material as soon as possible with a clean rag. Cured material may be removed with MEK or acetone.

	Apply one or two beads of material to the floor depending on the width of the molding and the surface texture of the floor.
	Immediately set the molding into place.
	Press the molding down as needed to insure full contact with the material for 15 minutes. Use tape to hold molding in place if necessary.

Tackless strips:

Cut tackless strips every 18" and position them on the floor. Assemble cartridge. (Remove plug and attach static mixer prior to use.) Place a quarter sized dollap every six inches, or where every nail would normally be. Set the tackless strips into place. Do not allow more than a few minutes of open time. The material will not tack-up like other adhesives. Use tape or weights to hold the tackless strips in place for 10 - 15 minutes until the material cures. At 70°, the tackless strips can be easily repositioned for the first 5 - 8 minutes. After 5 - 8 minutes, the material will start setting at a rapid pace. Do not reposition the tackless strips at this time. In colder temperatures, cure times will be longer. An electric heat gun may be used to accelerate the cure once the moldings are in place. Clean up excess material as soon as possible with a clean rag. Cured material may be removed with MEK or acetone. After 15 - 20 minutes at 70°, install carpet. Store unused material by recapping cartridge and storing in a cool, dry place. Discard used mixer.
