I have oak floors. Nail heads come up, I push them down, and they

I won't even ask why they come up, but just how do I keep them from
doing it.
Pull them and put in larger nails (thicker, longer?)? Some sort of
glue? Move?



I have the same problem, did you ever get an answer?


Hi,
Are they just planks not T&G type? I'd replace nails with screws
counter sunk and cover the screw head with wood filler. Or pull the nail
all the way out, dip it in epoxy and renail it down, wipe clean epoxy
residue B4 it sets.
