Sealer Application Checklist

After the installation of your Firm-Fill underlayment, you are responsible for the following:

1. Applying latex floor sealer/floor covering primer - Porosity of the floor is a prime factor in the drying rate of adhesives.  This porosity factor may reduce the effective adhesive open time.  An application of latex floor sealer/floor covering primer will minimize the porosity factor.
   
   
2. Floor Condition - The underlayment must be fully dry before applying any latex floor sealer or floor covering primer.  See our Post Pour checklist for more information.
   
   
3. Dilution Rates - For the best results the dilution rate for latex floor sealer/floor covering primer concentrate is 5 parts water to 1 part sealer/primer.  Spray the diluted floor sealer/floor covering primer at a rate of 500 sq. ft. per gallon of mix.
   

The underlayment must be dry before applying any primer/sealer.

Make certain the surface to receive the primer/sealer is free of mud, oil and other contaminants.  For maximum results, the primer/sealer is applied about 1-2 hours prior to adhesive application.  Latex adhesives will not achieve maximum bond until moisture has dissipated.
