How to use adhesive for floor tiles?

Hi, I would like to install vinyl tiles on concrete floor using Henry 430 vinyl composition tile adhesive. The instructions say to leave it for ~90 min. until the floor feels tacky and then I have 24 hours to lay the tiles. My question is, how do I cover a large area of the floor with this adhesive and then walk on it to lay the tiles if it's going to be sticky? Please help, I'm hoping to do this tonight. Thank you.How to use adhesive for floor tiles?
You only lay glue down in small sections...then cover that section with tiles. Then lay some more glue down...repeat. Got it.How to use adhesive for floor tiles?
either do it in sections so you can walk through and get to each patch and do it over 2 or 3 nights.





or get knee pads, shin pads and gloves and crawl across it all while sticky. makes job harder this way.
Make your lines before you trowel out the glue, it will dry fairly clear so you will be able to see your lines. Then start sticking your tiles and you can kneel on the tiles you have just stuck. Make sure the glue is dry before you stick them, otherwise it will seep through the cracks and make a mess. touch the glue with you hand open, if nothing is on your hand, your good to go

Spread glue starting farthest from exit, towards exit of room, and work your way out of room. Wait the 90 or so minutes, longer if necessary, start laying the tile AT the exit and work yourself into the room until it is finished...you are working over the new tile just installed, so do not twist your feet on the new tile while you move around. I don't understand what the problem is. This is how the pros do it...no way to do the job in little sections...you will have some nasty seams that way. good luck
good trick here , paint rollers,


make it even and almost smooth


pour and roll, do an area and pour and roll good luck





measure room and figure your cut edges, start at door and go from there do cut in last ( edge pieces)


start with whole pieces of tiles.
Your best bet would have been to get an adhesive that took less cure time. I can't remember the name of the stuff I used, but you could start laying the tile within 3-5 minutes. My tile has been down for almost a year and no problems yet. Sorry, not much help here, unless you can take the stuff you have back and exchange it.
