How to Apply Epoxy

Home	Floor Fix Presents Tenax Epoxy
	The solution to the squeaks and movement of an old squeaky floor.
	Tenax is a name widely regarded as one of the best in the epoxy and adhesive industry. The product used in this system soaks into the wood while being applied, much like a sealer, and when it hardens it acts as a filler and solidifies hard as a rock! When applied to a sturdy floor with squeaks this epoxy will ELIMINATE all noises and basically fuse the subfloor to the floor joists. Thank you very much for your interest in this product, I know you will be thrilled with your results.
	It is very important to realize that squeaks are caused by movement, for best results this product should always be used on floor joists that are structurally sound. If a joist moves independently of the others next to it up and down, boards screwed in between the joists should be installed to reinforce the area prior to epoxy application. The epoxy is applied to the floor joist and subfloor using plastic spreaders with the desired end result looking much like a bead of caulking. You must epoxy both sides of the joist for best results, this has been tested.
