- For wood flooring, pay particular attention to subfloor condition, trowel coverage, room temperature and traffic plan.

How to check readiness
Test the least-ventilated area before walking, covering or replacing furniture. The data sheet gives an open time of 70 to 100 minutes at 65 to 75°F. Try a protected edge first and avoid turning, dragging or concentrated loads. Open the area gradually and keep heavy or hot tires off until the full stated milestone.
