How to Mix Rubber Chips & Adhesive

Pour the rubber chips that you intend to use as your flooring into a rotating tumbler. Check the bags of chips for chip weight when adding the chips so you can keep track of the total amount of chips by weight that you've placed into the tumbler.

Turn the tumbler on to begin rotating the barrel.

Pour the adhesive into the tumbler as it rotates in order to cover the rubber chips completely with the glue. Add the adhesive by weight pouring in at least 18 percent of the total weight of the rubber up to 22 percent of the total weight of the rubber. Determine the amount to add by multiplying the weight of the rubber used that you took note of earlier by .18 to get the 18 percent amount. The weight of the adhesive is listed on each adhesive container and most paving jobs will require multiple containers to complete. Add containers until you reach the total weight amount. Add slightly more, up to the 22 percent amount, if the chips aren't completely covered by adhesive.

Continue to roll the rubber and the adhesive within the tumbler until you have full coverage of the rubber chips in the adhesive. Once you've covered the chips completely, you can pour the mixture onto your targeted area and spread the mixture where needed using a trowel.
