cool technique - but the flame will release a LOT of very ugly chemicals into your room. hope you have an organic respirator on!

Do the spines need to be lubricated to prevent breaking? New to bowflex

Have you considered using a metal pipe as the bending point? The advantage is that it keeps the heat in and helps shape the bend. I am using TH-cam to help me prepare for my first attempt, and no one has used a metal surface to bend the vinyl over.

I like the clamp. Cutting a groove in the back of the material up to the vinyl will help it fold over easier

i have a bowflex blaze can i still add bands and where did you get your bands

Hello can you tell me how to wrap these resistance bands to the Bowflex . Thanks

Has anyone tried bending 3.2 mm flooring. Every time I try this the plank breaks or tears

Yes

Was it made in Mexico?😮

Thank you for sharing. You just saved my project.

Think this would work with the Mohawk rigid solidtech lvp? This lvp has a stone type core.

Learn why not to make nosing this way... th-cam.com/users/shortsQw7XCxT9Fus?feature=share

is this SPC core or WPC core vinyl plank?

My vinyl plank has a attached pad like yours can I use it on stair dkrectly? Thanks

I'm assuming you used construction adhesive to attach the treads/risers to the stairs. Did you have to remove the rubber backing to get the glue to stick? how did you hold the risers in place till the glue dried?

Wondering if something like this approach could work to give the vinyl a slight bend for a very shallow incline on concrete into a carpet room.

We have been getting pure junk in our building supply chain. from bad drywall mud to gfi breakers. They're sending out pure junk for an extremely high prices. on just one job we received 3 bad vanities and 2 broke toilets out of six deliveries from Lowes. It got so bad we open our deliveries while they're still on the truck. Tired of carrying junk in, just to unbox it and have to carry it back out another day.

You got bigger issues if you are just relying on a j channel to protect the sheathing.

Of course they are Chinese cabinets.

A drip edge installed prior to the J channel is proper

using a router with v groove tip is way easier for anyone who doesn't want to torch there floor and cleaner look

Great work ,thank you

Great video. This vinyl plank look thick, what is the thickness? I tried to install the nose using 9mm plank (1.5” lip by 3/4” inside cavity). I build the jig, and use standard midsize heat gun, I was not able to bend the plank. I will try use the torch. Have you tried to make full stair nose with from plank 9mm thick?

I'm looking to redo my stairs and got some quotes at flooring stores. The treads are more expensive than the cost of the entire flooring, and I only have 12 stairs to do. Each tread is going to cost me $67! WTF. I've been watching videos on how to do this and came across your demo video. Im glad I see this one and its been a couple of years and the wear looks great. I was scared to do this and risk the floor being damaged, but this got me hooked on the idea. I'm about to save $800 with this! Thank you so much.

Why don't you used a long board for the risers?

🔥

How did you make the big/contraption to hold the vinyl plank? I need this!

For anyone who asked for the finished stairs here is the link to the video on my page. th-cam.com/video/YDGPOv5ZxFo/w-d-xo.html

I wondered if this would work. Thanks for the video.

And if you use a heat gun you probably won't be releasing all the toxic fumes from burning in the pad on the backside with your torch.

I was trying for the life of me to figure out where all the charring was come from on the board, then you pulled out the torch and I realized what you were doing. Try using a heat gun and it won't seem like you're taking a cannon to a rubber band fight.

Thank u

Back in the day had a propane torch. Mostly for commercial jobs with metal door jams . We would beat the cvt then cut it like butter and could manipulate it a little. I would suggest removing the padding from the backing. Always text it ! I've used metal piping for circle bends for bull nose steps ! Good luck on your endeavors!

Just seen your video, yes this works . Got to be careful with the tourch to much heat is not good! Any good but installers back

I wish I had come across this video a month ago. I could have saved hundreds of dollars when I purchased my LVP.

Working on my RV flooring.... quick, somebody get me a blow torch and hold my beer!! 😲

What is the plank product you are working with. Looks pretty cool.

Do you have a video of your stair case with these on. Thanks.

Did you actually use this on a staircase or is this for informational purposes only for someone who might? If you did use it on a staircase, did you use adhesive to help it stay in place?

I used a router to take out some material out where the bend is. Then use a heat gun. You can control the heat gun better. I actually achieved two bends to form the full nosing.
