"Construction Adhesive: Using this adhesive to adhere underlayment to subfloor often results in a yellow discoloration. These adhesives contain strong anti-oxidant. It gets into the vinyl and reacts. Typically it telegraphs at subfloor lines, nail holes or other areas where gas can penetrate. This anti-oxidant discoloration is not correctable."
In 21 years of installing. I have never had a problem related to underlayment staples coming up. Adhering underlayment is not only unnecessary, the adhesive gases could vey well stain the vinyl. I staple 4" in the field and 1" around the perimeter 3/8 from the edge. Properly installed underlayment seams do not need to be patched. If you can rub your hand across the seams and it's smooth, it's good to go.
Hey Mikey, when did you start renovating houses? I thought you were only into crocheting? LOL. Well, I aint mad at you baby. You the Jack of All Trades! Pm me when you get this....
Sorry.. I missed the part where you showed the rest of the stapling. I thought you were just showing that he glued it and stapled around the edges. That's a big no-no. I've repair quite a few floors where guys tried to be lazy with the subfloor. Excuse my mistake.
This isn't a proper installation. This is a short cut and short cuts get call backs. I've been doing this my entire life, so has my Father, and Grandfather for over 50 yrs. That sub floor should be done every 4 inches through the entire floor. No if's, and's, or but's about it... then it should be properly skim coated. Period!
DO NOT ADHEAR UNDERLAYMENT WITH ADHESIVE!
