After the required amount of adhesive has been applied to the floor and the prescribed open time has been allowed, the carpet is carefully placed into the adhesive. To insure an adequate bond, it is then required that the carpet be uniformly pressed into the adhesive using a roller designed for this purpose. Rolling should be performed with the lightest roller that will cause the adhesive ridge pattern to transfer to the back of the carpet while still leaving the adhesive bonded to the floor.  Do not exceed 75 lbs. unless specifically directed by the manufacturer. Roll the carpet in both length and width directions.

 

NOTE:  In some circumstances, re-rolling is required as well as the placement of weights in problematic areas.
