How to Apply Multi-Tack: Step-by-Step

    Use a notched trowel, roller, or brush depending on surface size and adhesive spread required.

  3. 3. Apply Adhesive

    Spread a consistent layer of Multi-Tack onto the surface. Apply only as much area as can be covered within the tack time.

  4. 4. Wait for Tack-Off

    Allow 5–15 minutes for tack development before placing flooring or panels, depending on temperature and humidity.

  5. 5. Bond & Press Down

    Position materials carefully and press firmly across the surface to ensure full contact and bond development.

  6. 6. Clean Tools & Surfaces

    Clean up excess adhesive and tools with water before the product cures. Once dry, mechanical removal is required.
