Instructions

Step (3) Remove backing of the cartridge and puncture the seal using the seal puncture tool attached to the caulk gun or a sharp object such as scissors or a screwdriver

Step (4) Cut the tip of the cartridge nozzle at the second or third perforation depending on the desired size of the hole (the larger the hole the easier to release product)

Step (5) Insert the cartridge into the caulking gun and prime until a small amount of adhesive is released from the nozzle

Step (7) Align one piece of turf onto the tape and making sure to check the grain is in the same direction, apply second piece of turf joining the seam together
