1. A method of forming a dry floor assembly, the method comprising:
pre-washing a carbon wicking layer with water before bonding an upper layer to the carbon wicking layer;
cleaning the upper layer with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) prior to bonding the upper layer to the carbon wicking layer, wherein said cleaning removes release agent from the upper layer;
priming, with a primer that differs from the MEK, only a first surface of a lower support layer, wherein a second surface opposite from the first surface is unprimed; and
bonding the upper layer to the carbon wicking layer after said cleaning.
