Surface Preparation

Condition cove base and CB-10 adhesive to room temperature for 24 hours prior to installation. Do not apply at temperatures below 60° F. Lay cove base strip flat for at least 24 hours prior to installation. Make sure that surface is clean, dry and structurally sound. Remove all loose paint, dust, dirt, grease or any foreign material before applying cove base. New plaster, concrete or cement surfaces must be fully cured before applying adhesive.

Cartridge Application

Apply 1/4" zig-zag adhesive beads 4" apart to cover cove base or stair tread. Be sure 60% of cove base or stair tread is covered with adhesive. Press or roll cove base or stair tread firmly into place. If bonding cove base to a curved or irregular surface, some bracing may be needed until adhesive is set. Do not stretch cove base.

Trowel Application

Spread adhesive onto wall or stair surface or to back of cove base or stair treads with a 1/8" V-notched trowel which has notches 1/8" apart, or spread a thin layer of adhesive 1/16" thick to the back of the cove base or stair tread with a putty knife. Trowel an area that can be covered within 15 minutes.

Cleanup

Excess wet adhesive can be removed with soapy water. Dried adhesive can be cleaned up with mineral spirits.
