HOSPITALITY & LEISURE HOLE IN ONE Styccobond F3 delivers above par performance at an indoor crazy golf centre.
F. Ball and Co. Ltd.’s Styccobond F3, said by the company to be the UK’s most popular adhesive for textile floorcoverings, has been used to create smooth and seamless surfaces throughout two indoor 18-hole crazy golf courses, involving painstaking care and attention to detail.
Husband-and-wife team Anthony and Lizzie Homewood installed artificial grass carpet on and around obstacles of the courses at Lost City Adventure Golf, as part of the refurbishment of what is one of Europe’s largest crazy golf centres, at The Cornerhouse leisure complex, in Nottingham. The pair worked with Homewood Adventure Golf to plan and execute the design of the courses.
They began by stripping away previous carpet floorcoverings from concrete subfloors and obstacles before scraping away old adhesive residues. Cracks and divots left after mechanical preparation were filled with F. Ball’s Stopgap 400 Repair compound. F. Ball’s Stopgap Micro Rapid ultra-smooth, flexible, rapid-drying floor finishing compound was also applied to create a flawlessly smooth surface for floorcoverings and prevent imperfections in the final result.
With the subfloor fully prepared, the grass carpet was adhered with F. Ball’s Styccobond F3. This required considerable skill as the carpet had to remain in one piece throughout each hole. It also involved cutting and moulding carpet to go on and around various obstacles, including rocks and a motorcycle wheel loop-the-loop.
Over 50 years since it first launched, Styccobond F3 is the UK’s most used flooring adhesive for the installation of textile floorcoverings. The water-based rubber/resin flooring adhesive offers excellent wet grab and benefits from an early build up of strength. It is also protected against bio-degradation and compatible for use with over 70% of the 6,000 floorcoverings in the F. Ball Recommended Adhesives Guide (RAG).

Commenting on the project, Andrew Homewood said: “We undertake quite a few crazy golf course installations and have become specialists. We have go-to products for these, including Styccobond F3, which both help ease of installation and optimisation of the finished results and never let us down. This was no exception.”
