attach compatible insulation and
coverboards to roof decks and
substrates in new roof and roof
replacement applications, including
insulation board to insulation board,
insulation board to Class I graveled
and non-graveled (bald) built-up
roofs for re-cover applications, and
insulation or gypsum board to 22
gauge and thicker steel decks and
wood decks.
For a faster, labor-saving
application in a correct and
repeatable pattern, the Multi-Bead
Applicator from Dow holds three
tanks of INSTA STIK
allows application of up to eight
beads of adhesive.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ideal chemical temperature at
the time of application should be
75°F (24°C). The minimum ambient
and surface temperatures must be
33°F (1°C) and rising. INSTA STIK
Quik Set is packaged in a single
container that should be stored
between 50°F and 75°F (10°C and
24°C). The shelf life is 15 months
from the date of manufacture.

contact.
• INSTA STIK
™
Quik Set is very sticky
and will adhere to most surfaces
and skin. Do not get foam on skin.
Wear gloves, and goggles or safety
glasses. Cured foam must be
mechanically removed or allowed
to wear off in time.
• The contents are under pressure.
SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces must be free of any
debris, dirt, dust, grease, oil, diesel
fuel and standing water before
INSTA STIK
RE-CO V E R OV E R (B U R )
™
Quik Set is applied.
A certified INSTA STIK™Quik Set
instructor, authorized to perform
adhesion tests, must be on site prior
to the commencement of the project
to determine compatibility. Contact
Dow at 1-866-583-BLUE (2583) at
least 14 days in advance for further
instructions.
STEEL DECK
On new steel, the residual shop
oil coating must be removed using
TSP, acetone, naphtha or
comparable cleanser.
INSULATION
Polyisocyanurate insulation boards
cannot exceed 4' x 4' (1.2 m x 1.2 m).
All other boards may be installed up
to a 4' x 8' (1.2 m x 2.4 m) size. In
multiple layers of insulation, the
staggered joint method should be
used to eliminate thermal breaks.
PRODUCT AND EQUIPMENT
INSTALLATION
The INSTA STIK™Quik Set Complete
Kit includes a steel tank, a 4' (1.2 m)
flexible dispensing hose, two PVC
dispensing wands, a 1/4" (6.4 mm)
coupler and 9/16" (14 mm) wrench.
The tank can also be purchased
separately.
INSTA STIK
Roofing Adhesive should be shaken
prior to use. Firmly hold the
container on its side and agitate the
contents using a side-to-side motion
for at least 15 seconds. Attach the
swivel hose fitting on the end of the
dispensing hose to the threaded port
of the cylinder valve. Once it is
seated properly, tighten securely
using an open-end wrench
(supplied). Verify that the on/off valve
is attached to the dispensing hose
and is in the off position.
Attach either end of the threaded
wand to the dispensing hose on/off
valve. Tighten securely. Attach the
coupler to the exposed end of the
wand. Attach the second plastic
wand to the coupler. Tighten
securely.
Slowly open the valve at the top of
the cylinder 1/2 to 1 revolution. Open
further if higher velocity is desired.
Check for leaks. If there are no leaks,

Dispense a minimum of 1 lineal foot
(30 cm) of 3/4" - 1" (19 mm - 25 mm)
diameter bead of INSTA STIK
Set for every square foot (30 cm
insulation board to be attached.
Place the first bead of INSTA STIK
Quik Set 6" (15 cm) inside the
outside edge of the 4' (1.2 m) wide
insulation board to be attached.
Apply three additional parallel beads
approximately 12" (30 cm) apart so
that the fourth bead is 6" (15 cm)
inside the opposite edge of the
insulation board.
The application rate is dependent
upon building height, building
configuration and geographical
wind zone. Contact Dow to determine
recommended application rates.
IMPORTANT: When applying
INSTA STIK
boards must be placed onto the

Quik Set beads before
becoming tack-free (2 to 8 minutes
depending on humidity). Walk on the
boards to spread the beads for
maximum contact. Continue to walk
on the insulation boards every 3 to 4
minutes until the insulation is firmly
attached, usually within 10 to 20
minutes. Low humidity conditions
will require longer cure time.

• Enclosed buildings – A building is
considered enclosed if it does not
comply with the requirements for
partially enclosed buildings listed
below.
• Partially enclosed buildings – A
building with a windward wall
where the total area of openings
exceeds the sum of all other wall
and roof openings by more than
10 percent; and the total area of
openings exceeds 4 ft
1 percent of the area of that wall,
whichever is smaller, and the sum
of all other wall and roof openings
does not exceed 20 percent

The contractor is required to
complete an INSTA STIK
™
Quik Set
Pre-Job Qualification Form and
submit it to Dow.
A representative will complete the
calculations based on FM 1-28 and
FM 1-29.
The contractor will need to
determine the building exposure and
the proper height with regard to the
slope of the roof deck, as well as
identifying surrounding terrain. For
Exposure “B” job sites only, consult
Table 1 for application details.
For all other exposures and wind
design requirements, contact Dow
at 1-866-583-BLUE (2583).
