: : DEAR DAVE,
: : THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO MY E MAIL.
: : MY QUESTION IS MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT SOME PEEL AND STICK TILE.WE ARE PUTTING IT OVER SOME EXISTING LANOLIUM ALL OVER THE HOUSE.IT STICKS GOOD IN SOME PLACES.AND THEN IN OTHER PLACES IT WANTS TO COME UP.WHAT CAN WE DO TO PREVENT IT FROM COMING UP?WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD NEED SOMETHING CALLED IMBOSSING LEVELER.DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO USE IT ALSO? PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN.THANK YOU
Anytime a client wants me to install peel and stick anything, I use VCT clear spread adhesive too. It is like contact cement when you put a tile down, because it isn't coming back up anytime soon. The one problem people run into with VCT adhesive, is the set up time required to get tacky and turn clear. It isn't a wet set adhesive. It turns into a gooie disaster if you do.
