Step 5

Let the PUR adhesive cure for at least 4 hours before any walking on it.

For exposure to full traffic, wait 24 to 48 hours.

NOTE: Complete cure takes 48 hours.

Step 4

Touch the bottom of molding to the stair riser and carefully roll the stair nose in place. Make any final adjustments before you push the molding all the way down. Once it’s in the final position, press down firmly with your hands and make your way down the entire stair nose. It may take 2 or 3 passes to set it firmly in place.

*The purpose of the double-sided tape is to secure the molding firmly in place until the premium polyure-

thane construction adhesive totally cures.

Step 3

Next, apply a generous bead of a

Premium Polyurethane Construction Adhesive along the entire inside corner.

Be sure to overlap the tape

with the PUR adhesive.

Step 2

Turn VersaEdge over and roughen the inside surface of the VersaEdge to increase bond by means of 60 grit sandpaper, sanding sponge, or a metal brush. Then, gently peel the release paper all the way off the adhesive tape.

CLEANING PREPARATION FOR BOTH SURFACESPreparing the floor & molding as outlined is mandatory to achieve the required bonding strength1. Use a damp cloth (water only) to clean both surfaces of loose particles or surface films.2. Roughen the surfaces with sandpaper (100-150 grit), sanding sponge or metal brush. For flooring, only roughen up area that will be covered (1.25” to 1.5”).3. Degrease both surfaces to remove all traces of oil, grease, dust, and fingerprints by using a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), acetone or isopropyl alcohol.4. Let both surfaces dry thoroughly before applying PUR adhesive.

The tape may not sufficiently adhere to the rougher stair or subfloor surfaces. Allow at least 24 hours for the

PUR adhesive to form a bond. You should always start at top of stairs and work your way down to avoid contact with the installed moldings until cured.
