Hi,
We have recently put down a resilient vinyl floor that was just peel and stick. We followed the underlayment directions which said that the advantec that we had down was fine. I then cleaned the underlayment exceptionally well and allowed it to dry. The vinyl flooring was then put down. I am finding that in some areas the ends are coming up. They just wont stay down. What can I do to make them stick? Can I put finish nails in them? (that was suggested by the retailer) Some sort of glue? (retailer says be careful it may cause the vinly to deteriorate)
suggestions please??

:coffee: My2cents......Other people on this site said they have used a little dab of liquid nails to help. Dont know over time what if anything it may do to the tiles though.
