Carmen's One Urethane Adhesive

Urethan glue, also known are some of the most important and widely used structural adhesives out there.

The big difference between this type of glue and other adhesives is that urethane adhesive can be designed to dry with great flexibility, thus making them ideal for weight bearing applications where the finished product needs to be able to move to some degree, such as when a person walks over a floor.

Although urethane adhesives can be made in a “quick cure” variety,it takes up to 6-8 hours to cure and it forms very strong bond, more than strong enough to keep hardwood flooring in place for years to come. Carmen's One Step is a this type of urethane flooring adhesive that is waterproof, which is of course also important for flooring.

How much glue you will need for hardwood floors will depend on one main factor, and this is how well the individual pieces of flooring fit together. In other words, it has to do with how thick the glue line needs to be.

If your sub-floor is very straight and level, and all of the wooden boards are cut to size well, the glue line may be as thin as 1/64th of an inch, or in other words, everything fits together well. If this is the case, a single gallon of wood glue may be enough to cover up to 100 square feet of surface area.
