Ensure the wood substrate is sound, smooth, level, clean, dry and free of any dust, dirt, wax, loose paint, incompatible curing compounds or fire retardant chemicals, fungicides, release agents, sealers, or any other foreign substances that might interfere with a good bond.

• When installing thin gauged wood, solid or engineered, irregular substrates may telegraph through as adhesive pulls wood down during curing stages. Therefore substrates must be properly leveled to prevent telegraphing
• Fill all cracks, holes and low spots with polymer modified cementitious compound and allow to fully cure before applying adhesive
• High spots must be ground level
• Substrate, adhesive and wood flooring must be acclimated in an enclosed building with the HVAC operational and running for at least 72 hours before, during and after the installation
• The installation temperature and relative humidity must be controlled between 15°C and 30°C, and between 30% and 65% relative humidity, subject to the floor manufacturers requirements. Open time will vary with temperature and humidity or porosity of the substrate
• Wood flooring must be exposed to the air when being acclimated. However, follow the wood flooring manufacturers guidelines regarding site conditions and installation

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and end result. Follow the floor manufacturer's guidelines and instructions for layout and any special precautions for installation, as well as the product manufacturer's guidelines on the container at all times.

Some Points of Note

• When installing unfinished wood flooring, wait a minimum of 72 hours before sanding
• When installing over radiant heated subfloors, turn the heat off for 24 hours before, during and 24 hours after installation. Failure to turn the heat off may result in shortened working time of the adhesive
• Floor temperature must not exceed 27°C
• While this adhesive is freeze-thaw stable it is necessary to protect it from freezing
• Walking on parquet can be done after 24 hours
• Make sure that the floor is level and that at least 80% of the adhesive is in contact with the board

Yes, the adhesive can be used on non-porous substrates such as vinyl.

There is approximately 1kg to every 1lt, so you can calculate this based on a coverage of up to 1.5m² per litre As a general rule, the boards need to be pressed down onto the surface and at least 80% of the adhesive should be in contact to the back of the boards. As long as contact is correct, it will be fine. We would usually recommend a coarse graded applicator trowel to help with the application.

Yes, the MS Advance Adhesive will be suitable over a self-levelling compound.
