■ SAFETY ZONE in Specialty Areas:
1. Line off entire area to be installed (Fig. 1).
2 . Move chalk lines to one corner or end of the area farthest from the
doorway. These lines should be two or three feet from the wall depending
on your reach (Fig. 2).
3. Remove the bottom of S-230 cans Part A and Part B with a can opener.
Mix entire contents of Part A and Part B together with a stirring motion
while at the same time lifting from the bottom. Mix thoroughly for 3 to 5
minutes to a uniform color. Do not over mix. Never mix S-230 Adhesive
on the subfloor surface.
4. Immediately pour the entire unit of mixed adhesive onto the subfloor.
Do not leave mixed adhesive in cans because it shortens pot life and
working time, and may generate excessive heat. Maximum pot life of
the S-230 Adhesive is approximately 10 minutes depending on
temperature and atmospheric conditions.
5. Apply S-230 Adhesive for only two or three rows of tile (Fig. 3). Working
time of S-230 is approximately one hour.
6. Tile may be placed into the
adhesive immediately, but
allowing a 15–20 minute open
time and fitting border tile tightly
will reduce tile shifting and
adhesive oozing. Do not allow
the adhesive to dry completely.
7. Install tile with the arrows on the
back of the tile pointing in the
same direction.
8. Roll tile in both directions within one hour of spreading S-230 Adhesive
using a 100-lb. roller. Re-roll one hour later in both directions. Remove
adhesive residue from the surface of all the tile immediately using a clean
white cloth dampened with neutral detergent and water. Dried S-230
Adhesive cannot be removed.
9. Do not work on newly adhered tile except to roll tile. Use a kneeling board
if necessary.
