Hi,


I have put down some cheap vinyl floor tiles on a cement floor
surface. It's a temporary job - honest ! However, a few (thankfully
few) tiles are lifting at the edges. What is the best adhesive to
really stick them down?


I'm thinking:


"No nails" type adhesive
Bathroon/kitchen mastic
Contact / impact adhesive (can't remember if this has an "official"
name) - the type used to stick "non-self-adhesive" vinyl floor tiles


So long as the cement floor is solid my first choice would be contact
adhesive



one day you will want to take them off again.


Well the thread subject is "Permanently sticking", and in this
particular case it's just a "few" "lifting at the edges".
