Application Guidelines
Uses
Heavy traffic areas for residential, commercial, institutional and industrial installations.
   Tiles: Vinyl composition, asphalt, and foam backed hardwood parquet.
   Substrates: Plywood, hardboard, association grade particle board underlayments, felt lining, and alkali free concrete, asphalt, terazzo, tile and selected sealed surfaces.

Floor must be clean and dry. Subfloor and materials are to be at least 65 °F., prior to and after installation. Cracks and uneven areas are to be filled and sanded smooth. Rough, dried asphalt cutback areas are to be sanded smooth and cleaned. When applying over old tile, the surface must be smooth and well adhered.

Franklin 920 may be applied by roller, brush, trowel or airless mastic gun. On smooth surfaces, use a 1/32" U-notch trowel at the rate of 250 square feet per gallon. On rougher surfaces, use a 1/16" square-notch trowel at the rate of 150 square feet per gallon. By roller, brush or spray, apply at the rate of 135 square feet per gallon on smooth surfaces and apply heavier on rough surfaces. Minimum open time is 20 minutes, or until adhesive becomes nearly clear and no longer transfers to the finger when lightly touched. Set tiles in place carefully because they will not slide. Roll within 12 hours with a heavy linoleum roller. Restrict heavy traffic for 24 hours.

Cleanup:
Allow adhesive to dry well before exposing installation to cleaning. Use water to remove adhesive spots and clean tools.
