▪ Do not use as a final wear surface.
▪ Use only when the substrate and ambient temperatures are between 50°F and 100°F (10°C and 38°C).
▪ For interior installations only
▪ Do not apply over self-stick tile, presswood, particleboard, flakeboard or similar types of dimensionally
unstable substrates.
