Post Hydroturf problem
Putting hydroturf down and using the 3m 90 hi- strength spray adhesive, then going around with contact cement around edges. I'm having a problem with it bubbling in the middle, am I not letting the spray adhesive tack long enough? And in these spots what can I do to fix?

It should be dry, not tacky, when you lay it down.

You have to put it on both surfaces, wait till it dries, then once you put it down, it ain't coming back up.

I did put it on both, guess I'm not waiting long enough for it to dry

With it bubbling up take your razor and make a small cut in the middle of the bubble. Then work the outside of the bubble to the inside pushing it down. Once it's all pushed down you won't be able to see the cut

Use the right amount of dry time. The adhesive is still off-gassing.
