LindaC Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Think of RL flooring on my porch and steps. I've roughed up the steps with sandpaper plus used my utility knife to roughly score and top 2 steps keep coming loose from lower step. I've used only wood glue at this point. Thought I would check here before trying something else. I do have the E3000 glue Holly uses. hmm ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The GL vinyl tiles and "wood" flooring are RL vinyl cut down to 1:12 scale and I used good ol' Elmer's white all-purpose glue rather than trust the self adhesive goo on the back side of the tile I still pulled off the paper, though) For RL wood flooring I would check the instructions that come with it to see what's recommended. For floors when in doubt I try rubber cement first, a coat on the subfloor and another on the back of the plooring strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaC Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 this is wood flooring given to me by the local furniture/flooring store. so now I have to buy rubber cement for a 3 x 6ish piece of wood. gads. OR go to a neighbor and ask 'may I borrow/bum half a teaspoon of rubber cement'??? too funny. thanks Holly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'd try E6000 before I'd try rubber cement. I don't understand why the wood glue won't work. Is there a coating on the surface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Don't go out and buy rubber cement special, if you have the E6000. I'm still wondering why the wood glue doesn't work, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooder85 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 if there's a coating on the wood, try super glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaC Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 So sorry for delay in replying. health issues get me down. this is real flooring (wood) pieces cut to make front steps. I will try the e glue and if that doesn't work will get some super glue. Not tonight though the smell is horrid and I am not up to that yet. Should have gotten a mask at drug store but didn't. thanks to all, LindaC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Linda, I'm so sorry to hear you're having health issues, but if they're related to breathing, please wait until you can use whatever glue until you can use it outdoors/ in a well-ventilated area.
