Abstract

A method for installing a sheet of surface covering material on a substrate surface comprising depositing a quantity of a foamed adhesive to the substrate surface, laying the sheet on the adhesive, applying pressure to the sheet so as to spread the adhesive and cause the adhesive to conform to any irregularities of the substrate surface, and allowing the adhesive to dry, thereby bonding the sheet to the substrate surface. Also disclosed is a packaged foamable adhesive for use with this method.
