Hi! This is Steven from Keilholz Flooring on behalf of Expertvillage.com and now I am going to show you how to put the material back into the adhesive. You are going to start up by rolling the material slowly back into the adhesive. Making sure to try and not get any air trapped underneath it, putting your foot in it without making your foot go through it. You are going to make sure you still tight up against the wall, just kind of want to float it a little bit, pushing the kind of air bubbles out of it that you might see with your hands, make sure that everything is exactly the way you want it. Your grout lines are still lined up underneath any walls if you have a overhang and now we are going to prepare to pull the other side over and finish gluing the other side. One important thing that I think you should be aware of, when you are applying any kind of adhesive you want to let that adhesive flash off for at least 10 minutes. When I say flash off I mean you want to let any excessive moisture evaporate into the air that would be in the adhesive so that there is no excessive bubbles.
