Timber flooring.... Newbie

[journeyman Mick]

Mr Flooringexpert,
is the German product really water based or just water wash up?
Why construction glue ? Personally I reckon construction glue is crap, I've seen it fail and I don't ever want to wear the cost of repairs to any of my work so I don't use it. Why every fifth board? I was taught, admittedly not by a flooring expert, but by a few tradesmen with a few lifetimes of experience, to put a dob of polyurethane sealant/adhesive on every joist/board junction. What makes you a flooring expert? A lifetime of experience in producing or installing flooring, or maybe a year or two of flogging the stuff off to unsuspecting punters?:mad:

Yep.
What Mick said.
If you are going to glue, Glue the goddamn lot. NOt just every 5th bloody board. That sounds like crap to me. Use Ultraset or Sika T55.
Either a 4" wiggle down the back of the boards or trowel the lot.

To all who may take Mr Flooringexpert's advise.
Please remember.
Misinformation is rampant on the internet.....:eek:

Hooroo.
