Gluing to Vinyl
Working on a small travel trailer. I am going to lay t&g Advantech flooring down to reinforce the existing floor, which now is covered w/ vinyl. I don't want to remove the vinyl and since the underside of the floor is not visible, I don't want to nail. W/ my luck I'd hit a propane, elec, or water line. Can I glue to the vinyl? What product do you recomend? Thanks guys, It's too late for me, save yourself. |

ma be out of a closet or under a cabinet.
A lot of glues will melt vinyl. You don't want that.
Call the mfg of the new flooring, they will
probably know

Go to Home Depot or hardware store and ask. Check the Henry site online...

Thanks guys. I've never heard of Henry. Obviously, I'm not into construction!

I have no experience with gluing to vinyl.
I am interested in covering the existing vinyl in my rv.
If you don't mind, keep me posted on your findings and results.
Thanks

My latest thought guys - your opinions? What If I just let the Advantech float? I plan on using 18" square carpet tiles on top of the new flooring. Remember this is a very small irregular shaped area. If it were rectangular 6x10' would cover it. I figure I can do the floor in just 3 pieces so I'll have very few seams. What if I just make sure the seams are secured w/ the carpet tiles that will be glued? Just a thought - I'm a little out of my element here!

use double back tape,available at carpet stores,stick your wood floor with that,then put on the carpet.

That sounds interesting, lbc. I'll try the tape & the glued on carpet tiles above. W/ just 3 joints, I can position the 18" square carpet to bridge all the seams.
