I put down vinyl flooring and it isn't sticking on the edges is there a glue out there that will do the job?
Question:For the most part the tiles have stuck pretty well, but there a few trouble spots. I have tried several glues and adhesives but nothing seems to be working. I don't want to spend the time pulling them up because to be honest it took us a long time to put them down. I guess we are looking for a quick, easy fix. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Answers:
before putting down place and stick tile the floor has to be clean..in the days when i did these tiles i used a precoat on the floor prior to placing the tiles.. if there isnt that much to replace pull them up put some precoat down, let dry and put new tile down. if you do this the tile will not come up..
precoat is the same as you use for wall paper prep. buy the ready to use, looks like white paste. thin layer, let dry 6-8 hrs
put down tiles.. if your floor is damp or wet the tiles will never stick..
Normally with vinyl floors you would apply a shoe mold around the edges, you can either paint or stain it
Gorilla Glue...had the same problem. Now they are fine. I have extra pieces of tile (if you don't you should find some and hang on to it.). We finally got it to stick great!
Hey try Tar It sticks better
