I installed a maple 3/8 floor over concrete in my home and have cupping issues.
I let the wood sit in the home for a number of weeks, however I did not know about the moisture test, or acclimating the wood in the room specific to laying the floor.
So...now what do I do about the cupping of the floor? I used the bostic glue.

Maple!!! Very unstable flooring!
I hope the heck it wasn't a solid wood!! An engineered should have lived, unless that slab is really wet.
Tear it out and start over!
Hmmm? It's not just a brainless slap it on the floor type of job, is it?
How much did you pay the installers to ruin your investment? :wall:
If someone is installing wood without moisture meters and the knowledge how to use them, they are going to get bit bad, one day and this is the day!!
