Stick-down solid wood

Due to a leaking radiator I had to uplift a solid wood floor that had blown this week.

I had previously installed this using Sika adhesive and their silent mat system. It took me hours (for a relatively small area) to uplift and I hate to think how long it would have taken had it been a full stick-down.

How does anyone else tackle a job like this?

 

Taken up quite a few of them mate. Couple of blokes, ruff neck crow bars and heavy hammers!

 

What about the adhesive residue when it's on a dpm such as Sika MB or do you just use a very sharp scraper?

 

needs taking back to concrete and redoing from scratch in my experience

 

Depends on the job mate, if the subfloor is sound I've just scraped back the adhesive skimed over with Trade plan, 1k turbo, and stuck down. If its a dodgey subfloor it would have to come up.

 

addy never comes up without taking half the floor with it after I glue one down only use p990 1k
