Selection and Use
- Match the complete 1/8 × 1/8 × 1/16-inch notch specification, not simply “V-notch,” to the adhesive requirement.
- Check adhesive transfer during installation as directed by the flooring system; trowel dimensions alone do not guarantee coverage.
- Inspect the notched edge for wear before reuse because worn notches change the amount of adhesive applied.
