Step 3:
Pick out the loose board pieces, and then use the chisel to carefully separate the remaining pieces from the
surrounding boards. Be sure to cut away the Elastilon below the remaining boards so that it is completely
removed from the area of the replaced board.
Step 4:
For your replacement boards, choose boards of the same specie and similar grain pattern as the ones you
removed. Examine the boards for straightness and correct milling. Measure them precisely. The tongue
end of the board will be removed.
Use a chop saw to make the cut, tipping the board up on edge to cut it. That position prevents the chop
saw blade from flaring out and allows for a truer cut than if the board is cut laying flat.
Step 5:
In order for the board to go in, the bottom of the groove needs to be removed. The razor knife is used to
score along the bottom of the groove, which is then knocked off. Placing another board along the edge of
the groove and whacking it with a hammer can help the process. As always, be careful not to damage the
floor below in the process.
