Further Information:
Natural products are neither odourless nor emission-free.

Gluing - General Application
See the 380 Technical Data Sheet for full details, however in brief:
- Make sure the substrate surface is level, clean and sound.
- Prime strongly or unevenly absorbing surfaces. (Auro 380 dilulted 1:2 with water) - leave for 24 hours.
- Apply glue with a toothed spatula or trowel (the glue dries in 20 minutes, so apply as you go rather than laying a whole floor/tiles at once).
- Embed material to be bonded.
- Press down the entire surface, smooth over, treat by roller.
- Press down and roll again after 20-30 minutes if needed.
For adhesive thicknesses and specifics for your flooring/tile materials please see read the 380 Technical Data Sheet.
