Step 4 · Step 4: Apply Your Exterior-Grade Adhesive
Always start by reading the adhesive manufacturer's instructions—they are your best guide. Typically, you'll apply a generous, even bead of construction-grade adhesive in a zig-zag pattern across the back of the tread. Make sure the adhesive goes close to the edges for a secure hold all around. You can also apply it directly to the clean concrete. Just be careful not to use too much, as it can squeeze out and create a mess.
Work in sections if you have many steps or are new to applying adhesive to ensure it doesn't set before you place the tread.

General Hazard
Use an adhesive specifically rated for exterior use and suitable for both concrete and your tread material. Ensure good ventilation when working with adhesives.
