Priming reduces over-absorption of the adhesive
into the substrate, giving a good working time and
strong adhesive bond.

Before applying any adhesive, ensure the

substrate is dry and dust free.

Underfloor heating systems:

Underfloor heating systems must be switched off
for 48 hours before installation. Wait 7 days after
installation before gradually turning up
underfloor heating.

APPLICATION
Select appropriate trowel size and application
method for the floor covering and apply the
adhesive evenly onto the subfloor, holding the
trowel at an angle of 60°. Leave the adhesive for
the appropriate open time.
