Lee, Glad to wake you up!

I had my small glass of wine, and a buzz hit me, but now, the buzz is gone and time for bed,

did the info help with that claim?
call if you need more info,

I actually have a few to do tomorrow,
and Thursday, and one Friday,
but, think about it, that is slow but that is more than most average people make,,,,and so I work my 40 in four days instead of five, I will sleep good!
slt

so,

I also disagree with that stance on wet carpet, however on the job shown here, it was glue direct, we were careful not to over wet, force dried, after closing so no traffic until the am. Quite different than a flood in a standard sbr stretch in carpet.

Delamination is sure to happen sooner, then later.

So Mike, are you telling me that the backing does not get wet at all is this instance?

Not at all Stephen. The backing does get wet, for a short time. The problem with standard sbr backing is not that they will fail if they get wet, it is how wet, wet how long?, and movement of use while wet over pad. That is to say flexing of the backing is bad, and will cause failure at a greater rate. direct glue gets wet, but does not flex so it is not as easily damaged.

overwetting glue down can result in delamination and water damage.

So what it the question?
