Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can this adhesive be used on all types of vinyl flooring?
Yes, it is formulated for excellent adhesion to Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), Vinyl Plank, Sheet Vinyl, and most vinyl-composite flooring. We always recommend testing on a small, inconspicuous area if the flooring has a unique coating or backing.
How should I prepare the surface before applying the glue?
For optimal results, the repair area must be completely clean, dry, and free of wax, grease, or old adhesive. Use a mild degreaser if necessary and allow to dry thoroughly. For best bond strength, a light sanding of the substrate can be beneficial.
What is the recommended application method?
Apply a thin, even bead of adhesive to one surface. Press the pieces together firmly and wipe away any excess immediately with a damp cloth. Use painter's tape to hold the repair in place for 1-2 hours if needed. Avoid walking on the repair for at least 4-6 hours.
Is the cured adhesive waterproof?
Absolutely. Once fully cured (after 24-48 hours), the bond is 100% waterproof, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial wet areas.
Do you offer bulk pricing for trade customers?
Yes. We provide competitive tiered pricing for distributors, large contractors, and facility management companies. Please contact our sales team for a customized quote based on your volume requirements.
