Chalky white appearance of a layer of glue which has dried too cold. A glue which dries below this critical "chalk point" does not knit together properly and the resulting bond is likely to fail.
Clean the crack, seam, or joint where caulk will be applied with bleach and water solution. Remove dirt, chalky paint and other residue completely before applying caulk. Avoid darkness, dampness and potential food sources for mildew to grow.
Titebond Tongue & Groove Flooring Glue is a premium wood glue that passes the stringent ANSI Type II water resistance test. In addition, it offers a lower chalk temperature and a two-year shelf life, both of which make it unique to the industry. Titebond Tongue & Groove Flooring Glue is specifically formulated for all types of engineered floating wood and laminate floating floors, even over radiant heat systems. It provides a superior bond at the tongue and groove. Due to its white color, the glue is easy to see for quick cleanup. It is non-toxic and nonflammable, making it safe to use and environmentally friendly. Titebond Tongue & Groove Flooring Glue gives the professional installer the highest level of protection against potential moisture problems, while maintaining a strong ultimate bond.
Using a flooring primer before installing a wood floor over Gyp-Crete or other lightweight concrete materials will toughen the chalky surface and improve the anchorage of the floor.
While all Titebond products provide superior performance, Titebond III is especially useful for outdoor applications in cooler temperatures or when concern for substantial moisture calls for the use of a Type I glue. For interior applications, the longer working time of Titebond III provides woodworkers the necessary latitude to ensure that substrates are precisely aligned before being bonded. Overall, Titebond III combines superior strength, Type I water-resistance, long open time and low chalk temperature into one easy-to-use formulation.
