Bonding to Cutback Adhesive
Adhesive layers must be removed. Use extreme caution;
adhesives may contain asbestos fibers. Do not sand or grind adhesive
residue, as harmful dust may result. Never use adhesive removers or
solvents, as they soften the adhesive and may cause it to penetrate
into the concrete. Adhesive residue must be wet-scraped to the
finished surface of the concrete, leaving only the transparent staining
from the glue. To determine desirable results, do a test bond area
before starting. Refer to the RFCI Pamphlet "Recommended Work
Practices for Removal of Resilient Floor Coverings" for further
information.
Priming
Prime all surfaces with LevelQuik Latex Primer or appropriate surface
primer before application.
Joints or Cracks in Substrate
Expansion joints and cold joints, as described in ANSI A108.01, should
be carried from the substrate up through the tile or flooring surface
and filled with an appropriate elastomeric sealant, such as Custom's®
100% Silicone Caulk. For the proper treatment of control or saw cut
joints and cracks for flooring, refer to ASTM F710. For tile installations,
refertoTCNADetailsEJ171,F125&F125A.ContactCustom's®
Technical Services for additional information.
Movement Joint Placement
Movement joints are required for perimeters and other changes of
plane in all installations. See TCNA Detail EJ171 for recommendations.
Mixing Ratios
Mix the entire 50 lb (22.68 kg) bag of powder with 5.25 - 5.75 quarts
(5 - 5.4 L) of clean, cool water.
Mixing Procedures
Mix 50 lb. (22.68 kg) bag of powder with the appropriate amount
of clean, cool water. Slowly add powder to water while mixing with
aheavyduty1/2"(13mm)electricdrillandan“eggbeater”
mixing paddle at minimum 650 RPM. Thoroughly mix for 2 minutes to a
lump-free consistency. Do not overmix. Overmixing or moving the
mixer up and down during the mixing process could trap air, which
could shorten the pot life or cause pinholing during application and
curing.
Application of Product
Apply LevelQuik Latex Primer according to the specifications on its
technical data sheet prior to the application of LevelQuik RS.
Pour LevelQuik RS, then spread with a long-handled gauged spreader.
LevelQuik RS will seek its own level during the first 20 minutes. For
featheredging and touch-ups, use a smoothing tool. Can be applied up
to 1.5" (3.8 cm) thick in one application. If a second layer is required,
install immediately after the first layer has set to a walkable hardness.
If the first layer has dried over 12 hours, re-prime before second
application. The surface will dry to a walkable hardness in 2 - 4 hours.
For pumping and large scale applications, contact Custom's Technical
Services Department for more information.
Curing of Product
Install non-moisture-sensitive ceramic tile or stone in 4 hours;
most floor coverings can be installed after 16 hours. Drying time can
vary with temperature and humidity. Test for moisture content
before applying vinyl or wood flooring to the surface of the self-
leveling underlayment.
Cleaning of equipment
Clean with water before the material dries.
Health Precautions
