Step 9:
Use two-part epoxy if you are planning to re-sand the floor otherwise regular PVA carpenters glue can be
used on top of the tongues and at the end matches. Glue all sides of the replacement board in place. Epoxy
has various set-up times so be careful to allow for this. Again regular carpenters wood glue can be used,
but requires a wait of 24 to 48 hours before you can sand the floor.
Step 10:
The glue is also applied to the top of the end match. Note that the glue is being used to attach the boards
to each other, not the subfloor. This will allow the boards to move with the rest of the floor. Never glue
the bottom of the boards! Never attempt to glue the replacement to the subfloor below! The floor must
remain free floating at all times.
Clean all glue residues and add weight to the top of the boards until the glue has as a chance to set.
