INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

KEY POINTS FOR INSTALLATION SUCCESS

Step 1:

Acclimatise

For 24 hrs on site before installation

Please remove plastic wrap beforehand
Do not install where substrate temp is under 10°C
Do not install where ambient humidity (RH) levels > 75%

Step 2:

Allow enough time

Do not lay in wet. Adhesive must achieve tack-off / tack-up.

Time will be dependent on temperature, humidity, airflow and substrate absorbency.

T240 | SynSisal S340 | Nexus 880 – Place a small piece of carpet or finger into the adhesive. When pulled away, strings or cobwebs should be apparent.
Modu-Tak PS – Allow adhesive film to become “translucent”. Once translucent, the adhesive is in a dry tack mode and ready.
