Construction Adhesives

Application Guidelines

Application Temperature:

Over 40°F. for adhesive and substrates

Service Temperature Range:

0°F. to 120°F.

Method of Application:

Cartridge/caulking gun, trowel or putty knife

Working Surfaces:

Cutting and piecing should be done before applying adhesive. Surfaces to be bonded should be clean, dry and free from oil and grease or any other material that may deter adhesion. Apply enough adhesive to hold cove base in place without causing squeeze-out. Press the cove base firmly and uniformly against the wall within 5-10 minutes after applying adhesive. Irregular or curved wall surfaces may require bracing until adhesive has set.

Cleanup:

Tools and excess adhesive may be cleaned with water while the adhesive is wet. If dried, tools and adhesive may be cleaned with mineral spirits or equivalent solvent. Follow solvent vendor's precautions when using solvents. NOTE: Test solvent on an out-of-the-way area to make sure it will not mar or attack the surface.

Maximum Coverage:

10.5 oz. Cartridge: Approximately 15-25 linear feet of 4 inch cove base using a double ¼ inch bead or zigzag pattern
29 oz. Cartridge: Approximately 44-63 linear feet of 4 inch cove base using a double ¼ inch bead or zigzag pattern

Limitations:

GREENchoice Professional Cove Base Adhesive is not designed for continuous submersion. When applying over paint, wallpaper, ceramic tile or other non-porous materials, "roughing up" the area by sanding or scraping will increase bond strength. For best results, store adhesive above 40°F.
