Parquet from a bag onto the floor. Simple — but only once you pick the right application.
WAKOL MS 262 is a one-component, firm-elastic adhesive with no mixing and no venting time. A compatible foil-bag gun and the special WAKOL triangular nozzle are the simplest permitted route — but only for the permitted formats.

Two different approvals
The triangular nozzle is not the same as full-surface or multi-nozzle application.
SIMPLE BEADS
Triangular nozzle
strip parquet to EN 13226
multi-layer parquet at least 90 cm long
solid boards up to 18 cm wide
cork on an HDF/MDF carrier, where the TDS permits it
Direction: beads across the direction of the boards, 8–10 cm apart.
FULL-SURFACE / MULTI-NOZZLE
Trowel or interchangeable head
mosaic and 10 mm solid lamparquet
edge-grain lamellas: at least 16 mm thick and no more than 200 mm long
smaller and larger multi-layer elements
solid boards up to 18 cm; oak up to 20 cm
wood blocks and permitted cork
Direction with the head: ribs run parallel to the laying direction. Large formats need a very flat substrate; WAKOL recommends D 3055.
Tools and consumption

Specialty Trowel 5 is a special route with its own substrate limits and is not a general substitute for a normal trowel.
Material calculator
How many 600 ml bags should you prepare?
The result is a range based on the declared consumption. Check the actual job for reserve, waste, unevenness and exact packaging.
A simple working protocol
Eight checks before the last board is down.
01
Confirm the parquet
Record the construction, the dimensions, tongue-and-groove or click, and the manufacturer's approval for full-surface bonding.
02
Measure the substrate
Check the type, the moisture, the flatness, the strength and any cracks. Prepare a calcium sulphate screed mechanically and vacuum it thoroughly.
03
Choose the substrate system
Always separate mastic asphalt with PU 280 or MS 330. Seal residual moisture only within the permitted TDS limits and on a permanently moisture-resistant substrate.
04
Do a dry lay-out
Balance the cuts, mark the reference axis and prepare the spacers before you open the bag.
05
Prepare the gun and nozzle
Use a compatible foil-bag gun and the chosen WAKOL nozzle or the correct TKB trowel.
06
Apply and set immediately
Run the triangular beads across the boards every 8–10 cm; with the multi-nozzle head, run them parallel. Do not wait for venting.
07
Check the transfer
Lift the first elements, check that the underside is wetted and keep checking the geometry as you go.
08
Clean up and let it set
After testing, remove fresh marks immediately with RT 5960; cured material only mechanically. Surface treatment normally after 12 h on an absorbent and 24 h on a non-absorbent substrate; setting takes about 24 h.
Where DIY stops
The gun is simple. Diagnosing the substrate is not.
STOP 01
The cause of the moisture is not resolved
PU 280 and MS 330 do not replace structural waterproofing.
STOP 02
The screed is weak or cracked
Adhesive does not strengthen a substrate that cannot carry the load, and it does not close an active crack.
STOP 03
The format is not permitted for beads
Smaller elements need the approved multi-nozzle head or full-surface application.
STOP 04
The substrate is not flat
Large formats demand flatness; adhesive is not a levelling compound.
