Step 6:
With the bottom of the groove knocked off, use a planer to finish the job.
Step 7:
Use a chop saw to knock off the bottom on the board's grooved end. Then, on the side where you made
your original cut, make a cut at a 45-degree angle (as shown above), which will allow the board to fit in
more readily. Be careful not to angle the cut too close to the top of the wear layer, or it will leave a gap
when the board is sanded down to the level of the rest of the floor.
At this point cover the bottom of the replacement board with Elastilon being sure to only cover the bottom
portion. Trim the Elastilon so that it does not interfere with the t&g or Elastilon already on the existing
floor.
Step 8:
Each board has been dry-fit (not knocking it in quite all the way) to make sure it will go in. Once the glue
is applied, especially if you use epoxy, there won't be much time to mess around with further adjustments.
Where a long board has been removed, it can be easier to put in two short boards rather than one long one,
as shown here. (Remember to check for joint spacing.) Also, if many boards are being removed, remove
and repair only one at a time. If all are removed at once, the pressure of the floor may shrink the gap too
much to do the repair.
