I just finished using this technique and it worked great. One thing I did different was trim the locking edge off with a utility knife instead of cutting it with my table saw. Other than that everything was the same and it worked prefect. Thanks Brian.
The cuts in the moisture barrier have compromised the integrity of their purpose. This is especially relevant in southern/humid climates. Apply a couple of strips of moisture barrier tape over the cuts and your good to go.
Yes, you can if you know the slab has a high moisture reading. In this situation the minor scars in the underlayment should not compromise the floor. Clear packing tape would work well if you are concerned with moisture.👍🏻
How much would it cost for the repair u just did. I just installed my own floor and of course damaged one near end of job. Hiring may be better bet for me
It is on the pricey side. Worth it if you use it a lot. The tape is nice as it it doesn't leave a tough residue to remove if you ever use it to correct separation at the end joints.
Wrong once you cut the locks even if you glued eventually it will lift up in the future. Right way is to open up from the closest wall, replace the damaged ones and reinstall again. If you want it done the right way.
Thanks dude, this is going to help me immensely tomorrow!👍🏻

I'm glad it helped you! Thanks
Tk u. It really helped n gave me confidence to tackle it.
Great job on the underlayment.
You can... You may have to clean out the groove on the area you glued. May be a little time consuming.

Aren't there any grooves on the shorter edges, that had to be cut aswell?

I'm impressed,Sounds needs addressing though...
Thanks Brian. That tool is absurd at $130 for a hinge and 3M sticky tape!

Where do you buy the the tool that you use I have the double back tape on it

Thank
What is tool name to push the plank?
Quickstep tapping tool
Unifix Repair Tool (By Quick-Step) Thing costs $130 on Wayfair! Crazy for a hinge welded to a piece of steel and some 3M sticky tape....
I guess if you had to repair that board again you are screwed because all the planks are glued together....
We’ll done
Needs a new dust collector.
What do you mean?
Looks like your vacuum wasn’t working propery
Wrong once you cut the locks even if you glued eventually it will lift up in the future. Right way is to open up from the closest wall, replace the damaged ones and reinstall again. If you want it done the right way.
Glue a board together and try takeing it apart in a day. You will be surprised.
This type of flooring is junk and water make it swell junk junk junk ..
Yup, vinyl is better.
then why do you watch this video
@@johnstonjeremy86 Vinyl looks like garbage. If real wood isn’t an option, today’s laminate products are virtually indistinguishable from real wood.
All laminates have there pros and cons. With these types of floors it's usually for the look of wood for a reasonable price.
Brian, obviously you don't bother to review your own video. Almost no sound and you speak very softly.
Hopefully it helped with your issue.
Can't hear you talk up
not good repairs you not suppose to cut the tang you need to cut only on the bottom of the groove in the long side also in the end side
To be honest you can do both ways and be successful. thanks
Can't even see what you're doing..you're off camera...I can hear the saw.
Sorry it didn't help you!
