Hi,

I am just about to lay vinyl on top of some 3.4mm hardboard and was
told to soak it before laying it on top of the floorboards. Is this
really necessary?

Thanks

Peter,

Don't 'soak' it - simply wet the back of the hardboard with cold water using
something like a paddle brush as if you were painting it and then leave it
to dry off.

Only one side then, the one that lays oon the boards?


What's the reason? It's simply to 'temper' the board

Thats the term the person used/


to reduce the
likelyhood of movement when its laid.


Exactly what movement and why not both sides!?

Sorry just, seems a bit weird, but obviously its recommended!
