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.
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
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.👍🏻
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.
