Vinyl floor repair question

[NoSpam]

I have a cut in a sheet vinyl floor that is not glued down. I would like to repair this by "injecting" some glue with a hypodermic through the cut to glue the area surrounding the cut to the floor. I would press the vinyl down and wipe/wash off any glut that came up through the cut. Then I would place a weight down on the area until the glue set. If necessary, I could use a vinyl sealer to seal the cut following the glueing process.

Questions:

1. Is this a bad irea?

1. If not, what king of glue should I use that: (a) Will adhere well when thin enough not to make a "bump" in the vinyl surface (b) Can be cleaned up (glue may ooze out through the crack) (c) Will not damage the surfact of the vinyl.

Many thanks.

Your local hardware store will have a repair kit that contains everything you need to do your repair, except for a seam roller, for about $15 US. If you're careful, you can repair it well enough that you'll have to know where to look to find the tear.
