APPLY THE PROPER AMOUNT OF ADHESIVE FOR THE JOB CONDITION.
Using a new 1/16”x 1/32” x 1/32” U notch trowel, trowel TEC Universal Pressure Sensitive Adhesive to the surface with an even coat of adhesive. Be sure not to
allow excessive amounts of adhesive to remain on the surface from the trowel or ridges can telegraph through the new ooring. The adhesive requires drying
to the touch assuring no adhesive transfers to your nger or hand when touched. Note: Porous surfaces require priming the surface using the TEC Multipurpose
Primer 560 and allowing to dry.
*Light Commercial Warranty covers permanent bond installation
Place the Mohawk SimpliFlex on the adhesive and smooth the surface rolling the joints with a vinyl seam roller. Throughout the installation remove air from
under the Mohawk SimpliFlex ooring by applying pressure to a push broom working from the center of the area towards the edges. This will expel trapped
air and ensure 100% contact with the adhesive. Do not wet mop the oor for 72 hours after completed installation. Note: It is the sole responsibility of the
contractor/installer to determine the porosity of the suboor, apply the proper amount of adhesive and ensure that all instructions, procedures, and
practices are strictly adhered to.
Cleanup
Wet Adhesive
Use a clean white cloth dampened with water and gently wipe the area. Dry area with a clean cloth to ensure any remaining adhesive lm is removed.
Dry Adhesive
Using denatured alcohol or mineral spirits applied to a clean white cloth, apply the solvent to the affected area and gently wipe. Rotate the cloth as needed to
avoid transferring any removed adhesive back to the ooring. Do not apply the solvent directly to the ooring. Use a clean white cloth lightly dampened with a
oor cleaner to remove any trace of the adhesive remover.
