No, you will get the same open time as traditional solvent based adhesives. Also, the quick skinning will not have a negative affect on bonding characteristics. In fact, this minimizes the chance of “splattering”*, giving you maximum performance & superior strength development. * When an adhesive ‘splatters’ during the installation, it leaves a smaller bead than its original form, resulting in decreased bond strength and possible floor squeaks.
