I'm so glad I found this video. Thanks for posting it...you are a legend!!!

I have been thinking about this method but every single 'expert' out there reckon the floorboard has to be removed! I guess they don't want use to do it this way.

no problems , usually this is working fine

but in some cases the floor must be removed

all depends what is the problem

and all wood floors need room to shrink and expand

Have you ever had any problems with natural solid hardwood (maple) flooring when using regular watered down carpenters' glue? I have heard that the seasonal expansion effects can cause a problem (like floor cupping, splitting, etc) unless the glue used is some sort of polymer / urethane product.

May be they knew it but didn't wanna do that. No body wants customer to get away with cheap and easy fix with such little effort. Their best solution would be to rip everything apart and then rebuild it :)

one of the best videos on youtube. no wood floor installer that I called locally knew how to do this, but I am doin myself now thanks to this vid

@doktorstolat Thanks, that's a good idea. I'm surprised anyone can live with a thumb trigger, unless the glue is really thin.

try e-bay , or amazon , and this type here I put it in caulk gun , needs to have the metal wings
