Usage
1. Make sure the base has no structural defects, with appropriate drawing strength, and the base layer is dry, clean and free of scum or pollution.
2. Absorbent base layer: No need to dilute, use A2 /A3 to spread glue on the surface of the base layer. According to the temperature and humidity of the construction site, it takes about 15 to 25 minutes to dry the glue (it has obvious stickiness and drawing feeling by hand) to applicate the stair tread, then use the cork press to flatten, and then use a rubber hammer to evenly hit the bonded the stair tread to achieve a better paste effect.
3. Non-absorbent base layer: No need to dilute, brush glue on both sides, use Al /A2 to spread the glue on the base layer and stair tread. After drying the glue(the finger is sticky and there is no drawing feeling), you can lay the stair tread, then use the cork press to flatten, and then use the rubber hammer to evenly hit the bonded stair tread to achieve a better bonding effect.
