S-761 Seam Adhesive - Residential Sheet Vinyl
Use and Care
S-761 Seam Adhesive helps reduce installation time significantly compared to traditional
seaming methods. It is an option seaming system for all residential vinyl sheet products
installed with the Fiberglass-Reinforced Sheet Installation System, ToughGuard II
Installation System and the Residential Feltbacked Installation System used as an
alternative for the S-564 and S-595 Seam Coater products. Highly recommended when
pattern designs do not have grout lines for cutting the seams.
