Surface Preparation
It is important that sub-floors be firm, non-yielding, smooth, even, clean, dry and free from foreign material.
On contact floors i.e. floors on ground, check for rising damp by placing squares of roofing felt or plastic sheet (approximately 1 meter x 1 meter) at various points and leave overnight.
If dry, no moisture will be present on underside of membrane when lifted the following morning.
Since woodblock preservatives may contain solvents, ensure blocks are solvent free.
Application
Spread adhesive evenly using a notched trowel held at an angle of 60 degrees. When laying 22 mm woodblocks, notches should be cut 5 mm deep at an angle of 45 degrees at 12 mm centres. Do not allow adhesive to set before laying blocks.
Blocks must be laid immediately into wet adhesive. For individual blocks, it is convenient to dip the blocks. Pour about 6 mm of adhesive into a shallow dish.
Do not sand blocks for 48 hours after completion.
Dry in approximately 60 minutes.
