LONG TERM SEMI-PERMANENT

1. Make sure existing surface is smooth, dry, and clean
2. ReUseIt is applied perpendicular to the floor surface. If your floor runs north-south, the ReUseIt will run east-west.
3. ReUseIt covers the entire floor surface
4. As you roll out ReUseIt, you expose the adhesive on the bottom which will stick to your subfloor.
5. As one person slowly walks backwards unrolling ReUseIt, another person secures the adhesive to the subfloor by smoothing it out with a stiff bristle push broom or roller. See Ill A.
6. When you reach a wall, cut ReUseIt with a utility knife and start next run. It is good to line up seams as close as possible; however slight overlaps or gaps are ok. See Ill 1.
7. Roll out top flooring perpendicular to the ReUseIt; make all rough cuts along wall perimeter, and let acclimate for at least 24 hours. If floor edges are damaged or deformed, seam areas may be overlapped by up to 1 inch and double cut to realize two fresh edges.* (Do not make double cuts until step 12.) See Ill 2.
   
   *Overlap and double cutting will reduce coverage of material in the floor width. Please make sure that there is enough material to complete the job.
   
   NOTE: Do not overlap seams if doing so will compromise floor fit!
   
   NOTE: Do not use ReUseIt to install Timestep T Black. Use double-faced tape and top tape.


8. Roll flooring up half way using flooring tubes provided. Do this one section at a time. Peel off protective layer on ReUseIt exposing the top adhesive. See Ill 3,4,5.
9. Gently roll flooring back into adhesive, making sure not to shift or change alignment of the flooring. Smooth out flooring from the center to the edges.
10. Repeat procedure on each half of the remaining sheets of flooring. Do not cut any seams at this time.
11. Once all flooring has been affixed to the ReUseIt, roll each sheet one at a time from the center to the edges with a 75 to 100 pound floor roller. See Ill 6.
12. Once entire floor surface has been rolled, double cut or scribe all seams. Be careful not to cut the ReUseIt during this procedure. Cutting ReUseIt at seam areas will weaken its ability to properly hold the seams closed. Once all seams have been cut, roll seam area with 75 to 100 pound roller.

Tips:

1. Room should be warm and dry. ReUseIt should not be used in damp areas or outside.
2. If a mistake is made and the floor gets tangled or misaligned, gently pull floor material up and try again. If ReUseIt gets dirty, damaged, or wet, cut damaged area out and lay in replacement piece.
3. Test ReUseIt to confirm it will stick to your subfloor prior to installation.

CAUTION: Extreme heat can damage ReUseIt resulting in its failure to bond flooring to subfloor. Call Stagestep if this is likely to happen or is happening. There is a special 4" seam tape available to fix this.
