dry, smooth and above minimum
application temperature when
applying. Repair or replace any broken
or damaged surface.
Minimum application
Temperature: 50 F (10 C)
Not recommended for outdoor use.
2. Remove chipped, cracked or peeled
paint prior to applying Puppy/People
Treads™ material.
3. Remove loose residue from surface.
4. Use cleaner or solvent wipe to clean

thoroughly.
Application:
1. Complete Surface Preparation
Instructions. Do not apply over grout.
Can be cut to size.
2. Peel off protective release paper.
Minimize touching adhesive with
fingers.
3. Place one corner where you would
like the tread to start and smooth
down the line as you install the tread.
Make sure to push out any bubbles
from under the tread.
For best results.
Use a rolling pin or wallpaper roller.
Start from one corner and push out air
bubbles or creases as you lay the tread
down. Smooth the edges and ensure a
tight seal.
Removal:
• Prepare tread for removal by using a
heat gun, blow dryer or a hot wet towel to
assist in this process. Gently pull up tread
material.
• When removing the tread there may be
a little adhesive residue left behind, but
this is easily removed with an oil based
solvent like goo gone, a citrus-based
cleaner or even peanut butter.
• The treads can be removed without
damaging hardwood stairs. This is totally
dependent upon following surface
preparation instructions and the quality
of the original stair finish application. If
polyurethane or stain was not applied
properly, the polyurethane may peel off of
the hardwood when you lift the tread.
