Titebond® 771-Step Adhesive, Moisture & Sound Control combines the superior properties of a moisture cure adhesive with the ability to be used as a moisture and sound control system, primarily for wood floor installations. This product has no moisture limitations and calcium chloride or in-situ RH testing is not necessary. Once cured, the product is water-resistant and is not adversely affected by exposure to moisture or water. It provides a tough, flexible and tenacious bond to a variety of substrates. Being able to glue down and control moisture and sound in one application saves both labor and time.

Alternatively, Titebond 771-Step can be used just as a one-part adhesive simply by using a different sized trowel. Please see specific application guidelines in this document for details and instructions. It can also be combined with Titebond 531 or Titebond 531 PLUS Moisture Control Systems to achieve ultimate moisture protection. Elastomeric characteristics allow the adhesive to move with the wood as it expands and contracts over the life of the floor. It has unparalleled green grab and strength development, spreads easily, and cleans-up better than urethane products. Titebond 771-Step is most often used to secure solid wood, bamboo, cork and engineered hardwood flooring. It can also be used to install plywood, ceramic tile, marble, cork underlayments and stone inlays for residential and commercial applications.

All substrates must be clean, dry, structurally sound, properly cured and free of dirt, oil, paint, old adhesive, wax, sealers and curing agents. General scouring with 20 grit or #3 1/2 open-coat sandpaper will remove most compounds. All loose materials must be vacuumed from the surface after scouring. The subfloor must be flat to a tolerance of 3/16” in a 10’ radius. Hollow spots, popping spots and squeaks are related to unevenness in the subfloor. Grinding concrete floors is preferred over the use of filling compounds. If filling/flattening compounds are used, they must be Portland-based cementitious material and have a compressive strength equal to or greater than 3000 psi when cured. Use of adhesive over light weight concrete and all gypsum-based materials requires the use of an approved concrete primer prior to application of adhesive.
ONE-STEP ADHESIVE, MOISTURE AND SOUND CONTROL METHOD Follow all instructions for subfloor preparation. Trowel and immediately install the wood flooring firmly into the wet adhesive. Planks that are not flat should be weighted for several hours. 100% adhesive coverage, with no voids, is required to qualify for the all-in-one installation warranty. Product is formulated to cure rapidly. Open time is 25-45 minutes, depending on relative humidity. Be sure to seat the flooring into the adhesive firmly. Any low or high spots may cause voids in the adhesive preventing complete coverage and moisture control, therefore voiding the warranty. DO NOT apply over standing water.

INSTALLATION: ADHESIVE ONLY METHOD Follow all instructions for subfloor preparations. Titebond 771-Step must be installed using the “wet lay” method. This product cures and builds strength very quickly. Do not trowel more adhesive than can be installed within 30 minutes. Use recommended trowel for installation (see trowel recommendations). In the “wet lay” method the adhesive is not flashed. Begin laying the wood flooring immediately after troweling the adhesive. Once the adhesive has been troweled, the wood flooring should be installed immediately into the wet adhesive. To reduce slippage, secure the first starter row with Titebond Tape. Remaining planks must be placed firmly into adhesive. Planks which are not flat should be weighted for several hours. Normally, ultimate strength will be reached within 24 hours. Wait at least one day before finishing an unfinished floor. Do not walk on the floor during installation. Titebond 771-Step may be used for above-, on- and below-grade applications and on all substrates listed in this specification guide. All applications are susceptible to moisture and should be tested for moisture prior to installation in several locations within the installation area. Acceptable conditions of concrete for above-, on- and below-grade applications are: • Less than 3 lbs./1000 sq.ft./24 hours on a Calcium Chloride Test (ASTM F1869) • Less than a reading of 4.5 on a Tramex Concrete Moisture Encounter • Relative humidity (RH) of 75% or less when tested with an in situ probe (ASTM F2170) Acceptable conditions of wood substrates are a moisture reading of less than 12% or no more than 4% different from the flooring being installed when using a Tramex, Delmhorst or equivalent wood moisture meter. If subfloor moisture conditions do not meet above guidelines at the time of flooring installation or they could exceed them at any time after installation, then a Titebond moisture control system should be used. If the entire floor was not installed using 771-Step for moisture and sound control, then it will not provide moisture protection for the floor.
Wet adhesive may be cleaned up or removed using alcohol, mineral spirits or Titebond Adhesive Remover Cleaning Wipes. Do not allow adhesive to cure on surface of the flooring, tools, or equipment. Follow solvent manufacturer’s directions when working with solvents. Cured adhesive will be difficult or impossible to remove.
