FAQs
Is this adhesive suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, it can be used in bathrooms provided the substrate is absorbent and the installed flooring is suitable for wet areas. Ensure proper ventilation during and after installation.
Can I use this adhesive on a wooden subfloor?
Yes, it is suitable for wooden subfloors like plywood or chipboard, provided they are stable, clean, and dry. Ensure the wood itself is absorbent.
How long do I need to wait before walking on the floor?
Thanks to its high initial grab, the floor is typically walkable immediately after installation. However, it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before subjecting it to heavy furniture or intense use to allow full curing.
What is the open time for this adhesive?
The open time (the time you have to lay the flooring after applying adhesive) varies depending on temperature and humidity. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific open time recommendations.
Is this adhesive safe to use indoors?
Yes, this is a solvent-free, water-based dispersion adhesive, making it safe for indoor use with good ventilation.
Can I use this adhesive for heavy-duty commercial applications?
While it offers high end strength and is suitable for areas with moderate to heavy foot traffic, for very high-traffic commercial environments, it is always best to consult Soudal's technical specifications or contact their support for specific recommendations.
How do I clean up spilled adhesive?
Clean spills and tools immediately with water while the adhesive is still wet. Dried adhesive may require mechanical removal.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not sticking well.
Ensure the substrate is properly prepared, clean, dry, and absorbent. Verify that the correct trowel notch size was used and that the adhesive was applied evenly. Check if the flooring material is compatible.
Flooring is lifting at the edges.
This could be due to insufficient adhesive coverage, premature drying, or exposure to excessive heat or moisture. Ensure even application and check room conditions.
Difficulty spreading the adhesive evenly.
Ensure the adhesive is at room temperature. Use the correct notched trowel for the flooring type. If the adhesive is too stiff, check storage conditions; it should be pliable.
Adhesive residue is difficult to remove after drying.
Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately with a damp cloth. Dried adhesive will require mechanical scraping or specialized cleaners; consult Soudal for recommendations.
