Construction Adhesives

Application Guidelines

Application Temperature:

32°F to 120°F

Service Temperature Range:

-20°F to 250°F

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. For subfloors, bead size is determined by subfloor material and width of joist. Cut tip straight across to produce between a 3/8” to 1/2” bead, to ensure full width of coverage (squeeze out) on joist. Puncture inner seal and place in cartridge gun. Apply adhesive to one of the surfaces in either a continuous or spot bead. Adhere materials within 10-20 minutes based on environmental conditions. Press surfaces firmly together with a slight twisting motion. Certain large applications may require additional bracing until adhesive has cured. Note: For subfloors, apply adhesive to joists for one sheet at a time. Apply enough adhesive to joists to allow for full coverage and sufficient squeeze out when panels are placed. Do not slide panels in place as this can scrape adhesive off of joists. Nail or screw each sheet as recommended by the American Plywood Association.

Cleanup:

Tools and adhesive may be cleaned with mineral spirits before adhesive dries. Follow solvent vendor's precautions. If dried, removal will require scraping or other mechanical means.

Limitations:

Not intended for continuous submersion. Not intended for polyethylene, polypropylene, silicone, PTFE or other non-stick plastics. Adhesive can be difficult to remove from skin and clothing. It is recommended that gloves be worn. This moisture cured adhesive may exhibit a reduction in working time when exposed to high heat and humidity. When using on non-porous substrates, mist with water to speed curing.
