It's was 1 pm, PDST at the time of your last post. Shouldn't you be working, as a professional? "I bet if I went there and pounded on that top the grout would pop." The converse is true; I could do the same at your house, but that would just prove an illegitamite means of acheiving your...

Holy toledo! Floor- I keep visiting this page to see if there is a shred of hope that I can save the vast wasteland I apprarently created and am now condemned to burn in for the rest of my life, without tearing down the entire house and starting over. How will I get through the week with...

Yes, the side in contact w/concrete is the poly side. Yes, owner-installer. Yes, boxes of boards were opened, unbound and left in a south exposure bedroom for at least a week before install. The corner in question is on the north side of house, and the only room with a non-rectangular floor...

Points taken. Not agreed with, but noted. Yes, the underlayment is a single 2-3mm layer of hi-density foam sheeting. Further agreed that the underlayment could have been cut on a cleaner line [you're talking to the contractor/homeowner], but that's not the reason the floor has displaced...

FloorMaven- I agree, but I had it cleaned after leveling and grind. I would definitely re-clean surface w/solvent before glue. I can set a couple of 2x4s under and offset about a foot, as spacers to lift the floor, just enough to reach in to make a 2" to 4" wide short stroke w/a trowel or...

Anyway, back on point: Need to glue the floating floor down at minimum of 2" of edge. What adhesive is available in 1 gal containers, or caulk cartidges, that is as good as Sika T21 or T55. T21: ▪ 270% elongation ▪ Extremely easy to trowel ▪ Crack bridging &#9642...

[Edit: Sorry, I should have written like this] 1st pic= 4.5' entry hall to family room. Sits flush now, therefore just glue down 'in-fill strip', Caulk 1/8" gaps on each side of 'in-fill' strip [to floating floor edge and tile]. The remaining pics are the gap where the 'in-fill' strip will...

These pics might help explain. #2550= 4.5' entry hall to family room. Sits flush now, therefore just glue down 'in-fill strip', fill gaps either side to floater and tile w/caulk. The remaining are the floating edge to tile at rear slider/fireplace. The apex or corner of the floating floor...

Words may not be describing the situation accurately enough. Maybe I'll post a pic of the situation here.

FloorMav- The floating floor edge is a 45 degree cut across the board lengths, whereas the 'transition strip' is +/- 5' [x1.5"] strips cut lengthwise from leftover boards. The edge of the floating floor has displaced about 1/8" upward along its' edge where I plan to join it with the bonded...

Could be wrong, but I think the new stuff, like Sika T21, etc, is polyurethane based, which keeps its flexible, but glued down. Also, the EPA, CARB, etc, buckled down on VOC's, so the manufacturers produced these new adhesives. I've used some Sika caulk on boats, and I know it works, and...

Left my edges 2" short to join to tile without threshold. Want to do a flush join of 9/16" wood flooring to adjoining tile. Will set 1.5" strip cut from leftovers of same flooring, but will lift 2" floating installed wood floor to bond edge down, then in-fill void w/ the 1.5" strip. I copied...
