COMMERCIAL SHEET INSTALLATIONS – S-763 Seam Adhesive Procedure
S-763 Seam Adhesive helps significantly reduce installation time compared to traditional seaming methods and allows for a broader range of installer skillsets. It is an alternative to heat welding in commercial installations of vinyl sheet flooring where an impervious floor covering is not required.
Note: Armstrong S-763 Seam Adhesive is not recommended in health care operating rooms, procedural rooms or any space where an aseptic environment is necessary. Heat-welded seams are recommended for those types of applications.
- Use a recess scribing tool to recess scribe all seams net (Fig.1).
- Insert a piece of scrap material beneath the scribe mark. With the scrap on the same side as the cutting hand, cut the seam at a 90-degree angle. Be sure to hold the knife blade straight up and down (Fig. 2).
- Remove the scrap piece of material.
- Using the applicator bottle, apply a 1/8″ bead of S-763 Seam Adhesive along the seam edge (Fig. 3).
- Tuck the seam edge into place, forcing the S-763 Seam Adhesive up through the seam (Fig. 4).
- Clean adhesive residue from the surface of the flooring using a clean, white cloth dampened with neutral detergent and water (Fig. 6).
- Roll the seam using a hand roller (Fig. 7).
- Remove burr at the seam by carefully skiving with the back of the linoleum knife (Fig. 8).
- Roll immediately in both directions with a 100-lb. roller.

RESIDENTIAL SHEET INSTALLATIONS – S-763 Seam Adhesive Procedure
See attached file below for illustrated instructions.
S-763 Seam Adhesive helps reduce installation time significantly compared to traditional seaming methods.
Modified Loose Lay Installations
- Double-cut the seam before applying the vinyl tape or adhesive.
- After seam is cut, fold back both edges and apply the tape or adhesive.
- After applying the tape or after proper open time with the adhesive place one side back down.
- Using the applicator bottle, apply a 1/8″ bead of S-763 Seam Adhesive along the seam edge.
- Tuck the seam edge into place, forcing the S-763 Seam Adhesive up through the seam.
- Clean adhesive residue from the surface of the flooring using a clean, white cloth dampened with neutral detergent and water.
- Roll the seam using a hand roller.
- Allow 2 hours before foot traffic and 4 to 6 hours to fully dry for rolling loads.
S-295 or S-299 Full Spread Adhesive Installations
- Double-cut the seam dry before applying the adhesive.
- After seam is cut, fold back both edges and apply the adhesive.
- After proper open time (dry-to-touch over non-porous substrate) place one side back down.
- Using the applicator bottle, apply a 1/8″ bead of S-763 Seam Adhesive along the seam edge.
- Tuck the seam edge into place, forcing the S-763 Seam Adhesive up through the seam.
- Clean adhesive residue from the surface of the flooring using a clean, white cloth dampened with neutral detergent and water.
- Roll the seam using a hand roller.
- Roll immediately in both directions with a 100-lb. roller.
- Allow 2 hours drying before foot traffic and 4 to 6 hours to fully dry for rolling loads.
