I have oak floors. Nail heads come up, I push them down, and they come
up again.
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?
.. . .
Brand new house, repurposed old boards, radiant heat below, nervous about
longer nails....right now I simply have a community hammer and everyone
knows what to do with it and nobody is allowed to go barefoot! Will try a
little glue in the hole. Thanks

Glue on top is a bad idea. Ridged nails (standard hardware item) resist
popping up.

Beware nailing floors with a community hammer. In order to minimize
damage, floor nails should be finished with a nail set (punch), using the
smallest effective hammer.
