It is equally effective on wood floors, and is designed for use with p.v.c. sheet or tiles, felt base, lino- leum, cork or foam backed materials.

T.C. 101 is a two-component pro- duct consisting of resin and activator. The two constituents are thoroughly mixed together and applied to the base with a serrated edged steel
