I hope everyone is using pallet tape. If not, you should be. Its a time saver and it protects your pallets from the flash, warping, burning, etc. When they get to dirty, tear it off and put on new and apply glue. That simple.

I have a small bottle of CCI adhesive that's been laying around awhile while I used up by stock of spray tack. I'm gonna put it to use this week. So is the foam roller the best way to apply it?

I do use newman pallet tape and was wondering since that stuff is expensive has anyone used transfer tape for signs? Seems like the same stuff.

That's what my stuff is... I think Reece supply has it cheaper than application tape. So I'll be using "pallet tape" as application tape from now on actually.

As far as applying it, some people card it on.. the guy I bought my press from would put two stripes from a squirt bottle... on on the edge and one down the middle and then use a credit card to smear it across from one edge across the middle to the other. I use a foam brush because it's what I had laying around. I've heard several people suggest the foam roller.

It really isn't that difficult to work with... you can't really go wrong. Just start small and work your way up.

After getting the textac, I will never go back. I dilute. I use a sponge to clean off the lint.

Get a foam roller i think mine is 6 inches. also get a 5 gallon bucket with a lid. Pour your adhesive in the bucket, dip your roller and roll on. After you are finished, leave the roller handle and all in the 5 gallon bucket with the lid on. Easy to get to when you need it and it keeps the foam roller wet at all times.

Don't bother with the carding it around the pallet way, it sux. Foam roller will change your life.

Dilute it a little and spread with a scotch brite pad with a handle like Bumper said earlier. This will also keep some of the lint from building up. I pour it into old 20oz coke bottles, poke a small hole in the top and squirt a stripe or two on the pallet. If the bottle becomes sticky just toss it in the trash.
