Roberts understands installing a new outdoor floor covering can be challenging. Here are some key product usage points regarding the 6700 adhesive that may improve performance and satisfaction. Adhesive bleed through is most commonly caused by the adhesive field lacking the appropriate amount of open time. During the installation process- after the adhesive is applied to the substrate, the adhesive will need to stand open for approximately 20-30 minutes prior to the carpet entering the adhesive field. This ensures the adhesive doesn't filter through the carpet backing and into the fibers. This also ensures the adhesive builds bond strength and promotes the curing process over the next 24-48 hours. - Bailey Customer Care
