APPLICATION: Always have adequate ventilation. Stir any liquid on the surface into the adhesive. For carpeting, cementitious and ceramic tile, application should be made with 1/8” or larger notched trowel (commonly v-notched for walls and square notched for floors, but consult your installer). A 3/16” notched trowel should be used for wall tiles. All other applications require 1/16”, including residential felt-back rotovinyl sheet flooring. Due to rapid cure do not spread the adhesive over areas larger than 16-20 square feet. Allow adhesive to set up or “tack-up” for a few minutes (typically not more than 10-15 depending upon temperature and humidity), and then insert tiles into mastic. Maintain a wet, tacky surface during installation of the tile. Do not allow adhesive to skim over. If a film forms or adhesive skims over, or sets up so that it is no longer sticky, scrape all adhesive off the surface and reapply. Allow 24 hours for 3 in 1 Adhesive to cure out before opening to traffic or for any further surface filling. A trial application is recommended to assure proper adhesion can be obtained. Testing is particularly important for parquet and wooden floor material, which varies considerably in consistency and may have a tendency to warp. Again, seal the bottom of the material with Safecoat Safe Seal to help provide a moisture barrier. Roll flooring in both directions with a 75–100 lb. roller and seal seams as recommended by the flooring manufacturer. Stiff carpets/sheet goods should be rolled again after 2 hours. Restrict heavy traffic for 24-48 hours. Protect adhesive (specifically carpet installations) from exposure to water from cleaning and other sources for a minimum of 30 days after installation

LIMITATIONS: Do not apply to substrate in direct sun or where hot to the touch as this will cause excessively fast curing and prevent adhesion into a wet, tacky base. Sample test a small area to assure proper adhesion can be obtained. Use only where room and surface temperatures are above 55 degrees and below 90 degrees F. Do not freeze. Unused contents should be kept in a closed container in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

Unlike conventional adhesives, Safecoat adhesives are made without formaldehyde preservatives or toxic mildewcides or fungicides. Do not contaminate.
