Uses Recommended for pre-pasted wallcoverings and for pre-pasted borders on primed or painted surfaces.
Limitations Not recommended for direct application over oil/alkyd primers or paints. Do not use for applying new pre-pasted wallcovering over existing vinyl wallcovering, instead use ALLPRO® Vinyl-Over-Vinyl™ adhesive.
Surface Preparation Surface must be free from grease and other residues, dry, smooth and structurally sound. Check surfaces for paint bonding, loose wallcoverings, damaged wallboard or plaster by cutting a small X with a sharp knife and attempt removal with a small piece of "Scotch" tape. Repair all unsound surfaces. Prime all surfaces (including oil-based coatings) with an acrylic primer, such as ALLPRO® E•Z• PREP™, SUP•R•PREP™, or ULTRA•PREP™. Before proceeding with any unusual conditions, consult your adhesive or wallcovering supplier.
Application Use only when the room temperature is above 50ºF (10ºC). Apply a full-bodied thin, even coat of activator with a pasting machine, brush or roller. Do not dilute or thin. Book according to the wallcovering manufacturer's instructions.
Clean Up Before the adhesive dries, remove excess with clean water. Clean all equipment immediately after use with warm, clean water.
Disposal ADD•A•BOND is water based and does not contain organic solvents. Place empty containers in normal refuse for disposal. Contact your local sanitation department or household hazardous waste coordinator for information concerning possible reuse or disposal of unused water based paints, primers or adhesives.
