OH is fitting me a new vinyl flooring in the kitchen. Its my Christmas
present and I would like it done before Christmas. I have been kitchen less
now since Monday.

He has charged me with finding glue to glue round the edges.

I have looked on the internet but they don't state what exactly to use.

Cam someone do me a lovely favour and just tell me what sort to get? A
proper trade name would also be useful so I can find it easily.

He is gluing to old vinyl tiles which were on the floor before and the floor
under that is wooden.

Thank you.

Will you need an adhesive that is suitable for damp conditions?

Also is there a skirting board or any kind of cavities where built in
furniture does not quite fit.

Can you suggest a brad of glue?

The kitchen is afitted one. All the units have been taken out and are now
being replaced. Those plus the the appliances will hold most of the vinyl
in place.

Personally I wouldnt bother to glue atall. I never have in the past ( took
an old vunyl up to lay this).

All it needs is a permimeter glue across the one side . Its mostly laid on
wooden floor boards. Tiles are stuck firm, hence they have been left. Ifthey
havent come up in 58 years, I doubt they will come up now.

All I need is a glue type and brand.

I am surprised people here are generally quite helpful. I shall put the rude
comments down to your all having had too much beer and party time today.

Thanks in advance for help in naming a glue I can get.

Or to handle heavy loads...? Like a bridge with goats on maybe?

Gluing to old tiles. Hmm not sure that is a very good idea. Just be careful
you don't trip over the corners when they start to curl up!

I would not use glue as such. But I would stick it down as needed.

-1. My experience of Poundland sticky tapes is that the sticky isn't very long-lasting.

Flooring adhesive, strangely enough. But not the stuff used for wood to
wood. It will take a bit longer to dry on a non porous surface..

Really the old tiles want to come up and also the ply under it.
A garden spade is a good tool

It's normal to nail down plywood over floorboards before laying the tiles
Stops the joint showing and the floorboards moving
In the dim and distant past I have used Evostick Impact adhesive.on vinyl
tiles.
There may be something better now.

Any impact adhesive will do.

Probably best if you get the room as hot as possible and close all doors and
windows whilst you're in there.

OK as long as the glue is water based ;-)

It'll be cheaper than booze. Not sure what the hangover would be like though

I'd quite like one of those for christmas too.

Don't yet know which room I am going to put the kitchen in yet though. The current one has ceramic tiles laid over carpet.

Glued in place, or loose laid?

I assume it's carpet, and not some form of tile underlay.

Thank you.

Evostick contact adhesive - or you could try one of the thixotrophic ones if
you need time to align things up.

BTW, buy it in 5, 21/2, 1 or 1/2 litre tubs rather than tubes. ;-)
