I had some pretty good Armstrong floor covering installed a few years ago. Lately a few seams are lifting, or turning up slightly peeling up. A few months following the original install the same thing happened and a guy came out with a hair drier and glue of some kind. I tried the hair drier trick.., but it doesn't want to lay down, or stay glued. Time to fix, or new covering..?? Thanks..!!
armstrong commercial tile 1/8" with proper glue is better than the thin self stick stuff. check for other cause maybe problem dampness from below. see
Thanks Buff.., but I was thinking about a quick repair.., if I have to go with a new floor, might as well go with all new real Spanish tile.., Si..??
The heat is just to soften it.
Use the approved glue and add a weight to the top for at least 24 hours. Buy a couple of 4x8x16 solid concrete blocks if you have to. Protect the finish with paper between the block and the floor. Worst case you glue some paper to the floor.

Use wax paper to prevent the paper sticking to the paper.
Thanks gang.., but I already walked into the kitchen area the other morning, and I'll be damn'd if'n I didn't trip over the little piece that was peeling up.., and tore the damn thing lose.., I had to re-do floor anyway.., and we all need the practice (??).., thanks again..!!
