*Flash time: The amount of time recommended for the adhesive to remain exposed to
the air following application before the installation of floor covering.
**Working time: The maximum amount of time that an adhesive can remain exposed
to the air and still effectively bond to the floor covering.
Note: Flash and working times vary based on temperature, humidity, substrate
porosity, trowel size and jobsite conditions.
