8.  To bond  in water play and underwater applications, SB-909 is recommended.  Qty. 12 tubes are needed per roll.  Apply a 1/4" bead in a herringbone "V" shaped pattern every 4-6 inches.  Apply the SB-909 to a clean dry surface at a temperature above 50° F.   Allow 7 full days of dry time before activating spray equipment, or allowing foot traffic.  Full cure time is 28 days Click here to view adhesive bead pattern diagram or call 1-800-783-2358 for additional information.

9.  PEM® may also be screwed into wood surfaces.  A 2" stainless steel flat-head deck screw is recommended.  Apply a screw every 6" around the perimeter of the matting.  If heavy foot or vehicle traffic will be common, additional screws can be applied throughout the center of the applied area in two rows 12" apart.  A washer can be used in conjunction with the screws if necessary.  Screws are not recommended in bare foot applications.

A few suggestions:

  • To further reduce the risk of injury, keep PEM®  free from debris by periodically:
    • Sweeping away grass clippings or leaves.
    • Cleaning away mud, dirt, or other material buildup.  (Power washing is not recommended as a high pressure stream of water could damage PEM®).
  • Use warning signs in conjunction with PEM® to point out treacherous footing areas.
