PREPARATION: Sub-floors must be structurally sound, dry, smooth, clean and free of dust, dirt, wax, paint, grease, curing agents and any material that might prevent a good bond. Concrete must be fully cured (about 28 days or longer after pouring and free of moisture and alkalinity. Make standard moisture and alkalinity tests if necessary.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the flooring contractor to determine the dryness of all concrete sub-floors before the installation of floor coverings begins. Off grade concrete sub-floors must contain an effective, permanent moisture barrier. Below-grade concrete sub-floors must be free of hydrostatic pressure.
GENERAL APPLICATION: Where applicable follow CRI 104 or CRI 105 Apply adhesive with a short nap roller brush or finishing trowel. To assure proper coverage, pour one quart of adhesive into a corner of a pre-measured 12 Sq. yard area and work the pool within the area to determine proper coverage pattern to the remainder of the job. Open time is long so size of area of application will be dictated by job conditions. Keep applied adhesive free of dust. When adhesive has turned from milky white to clear and will not transfer to touch of finger, proceed to install carpet squares in accordance with carpet manufacturer's instructions.
Clean up accidental spills on face of squares or other surfaces by blotting or wiping with a water wet cloth before adhesive dries. Use TAC BOND 244 All Purpose Safety Solvent for dried and spilled adhesive. Soak tools in water or use solvent. Store in a cool, dry place. Close container lightly after each use.
WARNING: DO NOT USE 700, 700S OR E700 ON RADIANT FLOORS WITH TEMPERATURES ABOVE 72 DEGREES
