Methods and Kits for Application of Wood Flooring

A method for applying an adhesive and sealer composition comprising:

• spreading a composition over a surface with a trowel, the composition comprising a moisture-curing urethane composition, the moisture-curing urethane composition comprising petroleum distillate in an amount of from about 2 weight percent to about 12 weight percent and polymeric isocyanate in an amount of from about 0.1 weight percent to about 3 weight percent, the trowel comprising a blade having an application edge defining a plurality of generally rectangular teeth, at least one of the teeth including an integrally connected projection extending from the bottom edge of the at least one tooth, the trowel blade configured to spread the composition across the surface with the projection causing a portion of the surface to not receive the composition;
• applying wood flooring material onto the composition, the composition configured to form an adhesive bond between the surface and the wood flooring material with application of the wood floor causing the composition to spread across the portion of the surface that did not receive the composition.

A method for applying an adhesive and sealer composition comprising:

• spreading a composition over a surface with a trowel, the composition comprising an acrylic composition, the acrylic composition comprising acrylic polymer in an amount of from about 8 weight percent to about 42 weight percent and an alkanolamine in an amount of from about 0.05 weight percent to about 0.5 weight percent, the trowel comprising a blade having an application edge defining a plurality of generally rectangular teeth, at least one of the teeth including an integrally connected projection extending from the bottom edge of the at least one tooth, the trowel blade configured to spread the composition across the surface with the projection causing a portion of the surface to not receive the composition;
• applying wood flooring material onto the composition, the composition configured to form an adhesive bond between the surface and the wood flooring material with application of the wood floor causing the composition to spread across the portion of the surface that did not receive the composition.

A kit for applying an adhesive and sealer composition comprising:

• a moisture-curing urethane composition comprising petroleum distillate in an amount of from about 2 weight percent to about 12 weight percent and polymeric isocyanate in an amount of from about 0.1 weight percent to about 3 weight percent;
• and
• a trowel blade, the blade having an application edge defining a plurality of generally rectangular teeth, at least one of the teeth including an integrally connected projection extending from the bottom edge of the at least one tooth, the trowel blade configured to spread the composition across a surface with the projection causing a portion of the surface to not receive the composition, the composition configured to form an adhesive bond between the surface and wood flooring material with application of the wood flooring material causing the composition to spread across the portion of the surface that did not receive the composition.
