Product Information
Full details
The Bostik Stix A300 is designed for professional flooring installers and serious DIYers looking for a reliable, multi-functional acrylic adhesive for vinyl and LVT flooring. Its primary benefit is a high initial tack paired with a generous open time, allowing for precise placement of complex patterns and tiles. While it offers excellent durability and low VOC emissions, users should note that it requires specific subfloor preparation and must be kept within temperature limits for optimal bonding performance.

FAQs
Is Bostik Stix A300 suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, it is suitable for typical bathroom conditions, provided the vinyl installation is properly sealed at the edges to prevent moisture penetration beneath the flooring.
Can I use this with rubber flooring?
No, this adhesive is specifically formulated for PVC and LVT flooring products. Using it with incompatible materials may lead to bond failure.
How long does it take to fully cure?
While the adhesive has a high initial tack, it typically achieves full cure strength within 24 to 48 hours, depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
What is the coverage of a 12kg tub?
Coverage varies based on the trowel notch size and the porosity of the subfloor, but on average, it covers approximately 30-40 square meters.
Is the adhesive heat resistant?
Yes, it is rated for use with underfloor heating systems provided the surface temperature does not exceed +27°C.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive drying too quickly before I can place tiles
Check room temperature and humidity. Higher temperatures shorten open time. Work in smaller sections to ensure the adhesive remains tacky.
Flooring lifting after installation
Ensure the subfloor was primed correctly and free of dust. Also, verify that the recommended amount of adhesive was applied with the correct trowel size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup starts with acclimatizing your flooring materials and the adhesive to the room temperature for 24-48 hours. The A300 is best applied using a standard notched trowel. Always verify that your specific flooring manufacturer recommends acrylic-based adhesives before application.
Storage & Care:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use to prevent the adhesive from drying out.
- Keep away from freezing temperatures during storage, as this can permanently alter the chemical structure of the adhesive.
