Installation Instructions 

Product: Rewmar MS Polymer Flexible wood flooring adhesive 

Rewmar MS Polymer is a water and solvent free MS Polymer based flexible wood flooring  adhesive. It can be used for mosaic, 20mm solid, stab, pre-finished and end grain parquet, wood-plank and wood-block as well as any exotic timbers and 15 or 20mm engineered hardwood flooring. It is suitable on porous and non-porous surfaces such as sand/cement screed, concrete, anhydrite, wood and chipboard. This product is water and solvent free and therefore there is minimal risk of wood deformation. In short, there is very little that you cannot stick with this superb high tech wood flooring adhesive.

Consumption: Approximately 1kg per m² (using a 6mm V notch trowel)

Subfloor: The subfloor must be flat, dry, clean, smooth, sound and free from cracks. Irregularities like old adhesive, stains etc may adversely affect the adhesion. Uneven surfaces must be leveled with a self leveling compound. Due to Rewmar’s universal application capabilities the adhesive is compatible with all proprietary leveling compounds, both latex and water based. Smooth surfaces like anhydrite should be roughened and if necessary the top layer should be removed. A preliminary compatibility test is recommended on every surface.

Application:

16 kg Tub.  Remove lid and protective plastic film. (Keep the film to recover the unused adhesive for storage).  The adhesive can be poured onto the substrate to be trowelled as needed. 

12 kg Bag.  Cut the corner off the bag and squeeze the adhesive onto the substrate for trowelling as required.

 Spread the adhesive directly to the subfloor with a 6mm V notch trowel. The 6mm V Notch is designed to apply sufficient adhesive to firmly bond 20mm wood plank flooring. A smaller notched trowel may be used if fixing smaller format wood flooring such as wood blocks or prefinished 14-15mm boards. Do not apply more to the surface than can be covered with flooring within 30 minutes. Lay in the flooring and tap into place. Ensure good adhesive transfer to the flooring (minimum 80% cover). Loading the floor with weights will improve the transfer. Allow a 10-15mm expansion gap between the wood flooring and any abutments such as walls, door frames etc. Wait at least 12 hours before sanding. Do not apply the adhesive at temperatures below 5°or above 25°C and at a relative humidity above 75%. Do NOT dilute the adhesive. Fresh adhesive can be removed by wiping with a damp cloth or with Rewmar Hand and Tool Wipes. Always remove excess adhesive as soon as possible as the process becomes more difficult the longer it is left and will in time require mechanical removal.  Always refer to the installation instructions from the flooring manufacturer and all applicable flooring  regulations and standards.

 Storage: Shelf life maximum 12 months in original, closed packaging. Store in dry conditions at 5-25°C.  Acclimatise cold product to come to room temperature before use.
