Application Guidelines

  • Application Temperature: Over 40°F for adhesive and substrates
  • Service Temperature Range: 0°F to 120°F
  • Working Time: Approximately 20 minutes for a 1/4’’ bead
  • Prep: Surfaces must be clean and free of any material that may prevent adequate adhesion.
  • Application: Cut tip on slant for 1/4’’ to 3/8’’ bead. Puncture inner seal and place in cartridge gun. Apply continuous bead of adhesive to studs or furring strips. Where two panels join, apply a zigzag bead so adhesive will contact both panels. Adhere materials within 20 minutes or before skinning of adhesive occurs. Press surfaces firmly together for full contact with adhesive. Note: For drywall, use fasteners in accordance with local building standards. For paneling or other large applications, use finishing nails at top and bottom and brace overnight as needed. When applying adhesive overhead for ceiling applications, use 3/8’’ bead or less.
  • Cleanup: Tools and adhesive may be cleaned with water while the adhesive is wet. If dried, tools and adhesive may be cleaned with water/acetone/vinegar mixture. Follow solvent vendor’s precautions.
