• Q: How much floor will a 4-gallon bucket cover?

  A: It depends on the floor and the trowel. As adhesive only, one gallon covers about 50 square feet under engineered wood up to 1/2 inch. That is about 200 square feet per bucket. Solid wood and plywood take more glue, at 30 to 40 square feet per gallon. Used as the full 4-in-1 system, one gallon covers 30 to 35 square feet, or 120 to 140 square feet per bucket. The installation chart lists the rate for every floor type.

• Q: What flooring can I use SikaBond-T100 with?

  A: It is made for wood floors: solid wood, engineered wood, bamboo and parquet. The installation chart also covers non-porous recycled rubber. Trowel size changes with the floor. Parquet takes a 1/8 inch square notch. Recycled rubber takes a 1/16 inch square notch. Large format solid wood in the 4-in-1 system takes a 1/2 inch by 15/32 inch V-notch. Match the trowel to the row for your floor.

• Q: Do I need to moisture-test the subfloor first?

  A: No. The manufacturer says this adhesive removes that step. It is a 4-in-1 product: the glue, a moisture vapor barrier, a sound reduction layer and a crack-bridging membrane. The moisture warranty has conditions. You have to install it as the full 4-in-1 system. That means the heavier 4-in-1 trowel rates and 100% coverage of the subfloor.

• Q: How do I clean up adhesive that gets on the floor?

  A: Wipe wet adhesive up right away with a wet cloth. For adhesive that has already dried, roll a tennis ball over it. The residue sticks to the ball and lifts off. Between jobs, store the bucket in a cool, dry place. Keep the lid sealed tight so the adhesive does not dry out.
