The shop floor is finished and both Sue and I like it very much. It took us time to put it down because of the nature of the glue. In the container it has the consistency of thin paint. It goes on with a brush and is evidently formulated to stick to the tiles. The instructions do not say to apply it to both surfaces. They do say to let it tack up for about 30 minutes. It is white going on and turns almost clear after tacking. It feels a lot like contact cement and like it you only get one chance to put the tile down right. If you just set it down and haven't pushed down on it you can move it a little if you have to. Now here's the catch. If you painted the entire floor you wouldn't be able to walk across the glue to put down the tiles. We painted a row, let it tack up and then put down the row of tiles. It took about 15 minutes to paint a row, then wait for 30 minutes, then another 15 minutes to lay the row of tiles. At the rate of one hour per row and 29 rows to do it took us a while to do the job. But it is done and done right so we are happy. It's a very nice floor to walk on and it takes kindly to heavy things on casters being rolled over it. If someone were to ask me for a recommendation for flooring that could be applied by a blind person with good results I would recommend this kind of flooring. BTW, we put it down over a plywood subfloor.
