Ensure that surfaces to be cladded are dry, even, flat, firm and free from greases and oils, loose
particles and other contaminants.
Painted surfaces must be tested for compatibility with the adhesive before attempting to do the
installation.

Application

Stir well before use.

PVC Extrusions to well-prepared surfaces:

Apply by means of a good quality, clean paintbrush to both surfaces. Allow the adhesive to flash-
off ( 45 minutes) before joining surfaces. Apply hand pressure before rolling down with a metal
hand roller.

Moulded PVC tiles to well prepared surfaces:

Apply with a good quality; clean lambs-wool paint roller an even, thin coat, to both surfaces. Allow

Apply by means of a good quality, clean lambs-wool paint roller, an even, thin coat to both
surfaces. Allow to flash-off ( 45 minutes) before installing. Roll well on completion using a three
sectional steel floor roller for horizontal installations. For vertical, use a steel hand-roller or rubber
mallet.

Needlepunch cladding and carpeting to well prepared surfaces:

Apply by means of a good quality, clean lambs-wool paint roller to the surfaces to be cladded and
to the back of the cladding material. Material of a coarse textured backing may require two coats
of adhesive. Allow the first coat to dry well before applying the second. Let the adhesive flash-off
