Hi, I would like to install vinyl tiles on concrete floor using Henry 430 vinyl composition tile adhesive. The instructions say to leave it for ~90 min. until the floor feels tacky and then I have 24 hours to lay the tiles. My question is, how do I cover a large area of the floor with this adhesive and then walk on it to lay the tiles if it's going to be sticky? Please help, I'm hoping to do this tonight. Thank you.

You only lay glue down in small sections...then cover that section with tiles. Then lay some more glue down...repeat. Got it.

Your best bet would have been to get an adhesive that took less cure time. I can't remember the name of the stuff I used, but you could start laying the tile within 3-5 minutes. My tile has been down for almost a year and no problems yet. Sorry, not much help here, unless you can take the stuff you have back and exchange it.

Spread glue starting farthest from exit, towards exit of room, and work your way out of room. Wait the 90 or so minutes, longer if necessary, start laying the tile AT the exit and work yourself into the room until it is finished...you are working over the new tile just installed, so do not twist your feet on the new tile while you move around. I don't understand what the problem is. This is how the pros do it...no way to do the job in little sections...you will have some nasty seams that way. good luck

I have used them for over 10 yrs now with "NO PROBLEMS". Maybe your not taking the time to prep your floor and we all know the prep is very important. I personally would take that vinyl out and lay on your sub floor. As in any product if you take the time to read and follow their directions you'll be fine. I not only use this type of tile in my own home but clients too. I ripped out a nice ceramic tile in a doctors house and put this tile in its place, 2 baths and it's been 3 yrs now and no problems. good luck.

Make your lines before you trowel out the glue, it will dry fairly clear so you will be able to see your lines. Then start sticking your tiles and you can kneel on the tiles you have just stuck. Make sure the glue is dry before you stick them, otherwise it will seep through the cracks and make a mess. touch the glue with you hand open, if nothing is on your hand, your good to go

good trick here , paint rollers,
make it even and almost smooth
pour and roll, do an area and pour and roll good luck
measure room and figure your cut edges, start at door and go from there do cut in last ( edge pieces)
start with whole pieces of tiles.

either do it in sections so you can walk through and get to each patch and do it over 2 or 3 nights.
or get knee pads, shin pads and gloves and crawl across it all while sticky. makes job harder this way.
