I am installing a floating 1/2 inch thick engineered floor on concrete and need a glue reconmendation. My instructions from the manufacture say only "tongue and Groove adhesive". The place I purchased the hardwood from keeps telling me a "urethane based PVAC adhesive" Since I think urethane and PVAC are different glues, isn't this like saying a "turkey based roast beef sandwhich?" Am I missing something here? Titebond makes a glue a Tongue and Groove glue that is a "Cross-linking polyaliphatic emulsion" which looks to me to be neither Urethane or PVAC, but sounds like the right stuff. Obviously I don't want to screw this up. Any experienced installers care to give some guidance? Thanks, David

Titebond aliphatic resin...you can get the same formulation from most of the hardwood manufacturers, too.
