Approved Substrates:
GSL K2.6
GSL M3.4
GSL CSD
GSL RH
Most gypsum based underlayments (Consult Dependable LLC Technical Department)
Surface Preparation:
Prepare surface according to applied underlayment instructions. Ensure underlayment is fully dry and free of any contaminates, including but not limited to: oil, dirt, wax, paint, etc. The floor may be wiped with a damp cloth to reduce surface dusting. Ensure substrate is structurally sound and free of any mechanical defects.
Recommendation for final floor covering and floor covering adhesive supersedes preparation guidelines for GSL APS. GSL APS is not an approved moisture barrier.
Mixing:
Mix GSL APS with potable water at a 1 to 3 ratio (GSL APS to water). Stir gently ensuring the product is mixed well. Do not stir at high speeds or overmix (to prevent air bubbles). Remix prepared solution every ten minutes to ensure homogenous product.
Application:
Ensure application sites are enclosed and not subjected to temperatures below 50°F or above 90°F. GSL APS can be applied with sprayer, medium nap roller, soft bristle broom or any combination thereof. Work GSL APS into surface of underlayment; additional coats may be required upon visual inspection of extremely porous substrates. Do not allow GSL APS to puddle. Allow GSL APS to dry completely (temperature dependent, approx. 2 hours). Apply final floor covering within 18 hours of GSL APS application. If 18 hours is exceeded, reapply additional coat of GSL APS and allow to dry before installing floor covering.
Cleaning:
GSL APS can be immediately cleaned with soap and water. Mineral spirits may be used to remove GSL APS that has been allowed to dry.
