Wood Plank Flooring
Wood Flooring glue not sticking. Any solutions?
We installed engineered wood planking on a hot dry day. The glue apparently crusted over in one area and is not bonding the flooring to the concrete slab subfloor. You can feel a slight "give" when you walk over this area and then you feel a tackiness as the floor boards lift when you step off of them.
I cannot purchase additional boards, as these were bought on closeout. Any ideas?
the area in question seems to be about 18" x 18"
The vendor told me to glue directly to the slab.
This is Southern California - not that we have "hillbillies" here, but perhaps it's an OK thing to do in a dry climate.
At any rate, I will need to ask the vendor about this later today.
I just had floors put down on concrete, similar. We put heavy weights on top of the boards to press them down, that forces the glue to spread under the boards, seep into the poors of the wood and cement, and then let stand for 48 hours. We used engineered too. This works great. Hope you bought the best glue for this purpose.
But first, the floor and wood were temperature matched at 72 Degrees for 3 days.
And as for the first answer, that person is wrong! In the south, they glue directly to the slab in all new construction with Hardwood.
