e. After the adhesive has attained its initial bond

strength the boards can be walked-in and will be
compressed to the deck or substrate exhibiting
minimal slippage or movement. The boards
should be exposed to minimum traffic for at least

10-20 minutes (depending on temperature) after

they have been walked-into-place to avoid

breaking the freshly formed bond.

f. Membranes can be applied once the adhesive

has achieved sufficient bond strength to the
immediate substrate to which it is adhered. It is
recommended that the contractor inspect the
installed insulation for proper adhesion and
re-adhere any boards and/or corners that are not
adequately attached.

g. Boards that will not lay flat due to cupping,

warping or crowning, or surface irregularities of
the substrate, should have weights placed on the

boards until the adhesive has achieved adequate
adhesion to hold the boards in place.

h. When spraying stops for breaks, lunch or

overnight repeat the purging procedure in
step # 2g.

i.

Very Important: As the hoses are exposed to the

heat of the sun, especially in the summer months,

the pressure in the hoses will build up. Purging
the hoses for a few seconds prior to spraying

relieves the excess pressure and allows the
chemical to flow in the proper proportions.

5. Equipment Storage and Re-Use:

a. Turn the cylinder tank valves off.

b. Do not store at temperatures above 95 ˚F (35 ˚C)

or below 45 ˚F (7 ˚C).

c. The used nozzle should be left on the gun during

storage.

d. Engage the trigger safety lock.

e. Close the supply valves on both “A” and “B”

cylinders.

f. The dispensing gun is a disposable unit and is not

designed for prolonged storage or continuous
re-use. To help extend the storage life, it is
recommended to dispense a minimal amount of
foam from the gun at least once every seven days
to ensure optimum flow of chemical through the
hoses.

g. Use up the adhesive within 30 days of initial use.
h. Make certain valves are in correct position when

turning them on and when operating the unit.

6.

Re-Use of Applicator Gun After Storage:

a. Before disengaging the trigger safety lock,

remove the used nozzle.

b. Check the face of the gun to make sure the outlet

ports are clear and the face of the gun is free from

dirt, chemical or other debris.

c. If necessary, use a rag to remove any cured foam

or chemical from the face of the gun.

d. See Equipment Set Up directions on the previous

page.

7. Disposal Procedures:

a. Do not puncture or incinerate cylinder tanks.

b. After cylinders are empty, they must be vented.

CAUTION:Tanks will still be under pressure. Eye
protection and impervious gloves MUST be worn
during the procedure.

c. With tank valve in opposite position of use, slowly

open the tank valve, point tank AWAY from face
and allow pressure to completely vent. CAUTION:

Empty tank could contain potential vapor toxicity
hazard. Provide adequate ventilation or
respiratory protection (consult MSDS).

d. DISPOSE OF EMPTY CYLINDERS

ACCORDING TO APPLICABLE FEDERAL,

STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
