I wanted to make LVP bullnose stair treads to match the flooring we are installing. I'm not the best at the video side but hopefully you get all the info you need to tackle your project. The video shows the jig for bending the LVP, and another jig for installing. I used a heat gun for bending the LVP, and each one took around 5 min to heat and I left them cool for about 10 min before removing from the jig.

Nice video! I like both your jigs (lvp bending and stair tread)! I'm contemplating doing the risers first, or after the tread is in place. Doing the tread first and setting the riser on top, would make for a more secure hold. The caveat to that, it would be more difficult to remove the tread if it ever had to be replaced. I hear what you're saying about not wanting to see any gap as your walking up. But honestly, how out-of-level is a stair tread to begin with? And it there ever was a gap, some white calk would surely make it dissappear. Another tip your video give me, make two bending jigs! While one is cooling, another can be heated/bent!

Thanks! I installed the treads after the risers because walking up the steps you're staring at the risers and any slight gap would be noticeable. But that was just my logic and why I decided to go that route.
@rcline99
@rcline99 Жыл бұрын
@DannyKissel Well, my thoughts are: Install the tread first ( no need to be precise on the back cut) then install the riser, pushing down as you go, so there shouldn't be any gap ( this will also help keep the tread in place in addition to any glue used ) I've learned over the years that " There's more than one way to do it right " So if it works for you... keep on !

Bending a nose is a great idea. I prefer a smaller radius or square nose. Using a 1x will produce a 1" outer thickness. Of course the tread should fit snug under the riser and the ends snug to the skirt. The companion to the stair gauge is a spreader bar using a cam or threads to give the skirt a little nudge. A shooting board is also helpful.

I used the tread that we built the stairs with years ago, so it was an exact match but I do like the idea of a square face if I was rebuilding the stairs

I used the tried and true method of measure 967 times and cut 1009 😂. I laid the face stair down with a 45 degree cut and drew a line on the wooden tread then laid the side piece down and transferred the line. That got it close. I glued and taped them together and set them in place for a test fit and tweaked both straight cuts to meet the wall and trim. The filler board that goes behind the bullnose needed cut to 43.5 or something like that to make it fit where the 2 corners join and also had to shave the tongue of of the filler

I've watched many vids on doing this and like your jig that not only gets the left/right to trace but also the front/back to cut on. First vid I've seen with that "feature". Brilliant! Also I'll be copying the bending jig. Clever design. QQ - I guess since you are using the stair tread to get measurements left/right & front/back not as much concern if your bullnose bend isn't perfectly folded over (i.e. keeping the board that is folded over "even" with the bull nose part - like folding paper and making sure it's not "off" a little) - any concerns with that? I guess one could put lines on the bullnose bending jig to make sure you aligned "square" when folding over. Stairs look great. Thanks for the video.
@DannyKissel
@DannyKissel Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! In the beginning of the video when I "clamp" the plank in the jig, I had notched the straight board so the planks all landed in the same spot before the bend process so I really didn't have to much of an issue with keeping them square before the heating process. At the 2:50 mark you can see the ledge that the planks set on. I tightened it to a "snug" fit, wiggled the plank to make sure it was setting on the lip, then tightened it down. Hope this explanation helps.

So what to you suggest how to cut the plank after the bull nose has been done. As I don’t have a sliding chop saw. And also when you got to the landing. And you did bull nose for the top step onto the landing. Did you leave the backing on the planks for the landing.
@DannyKissel
@DannyKissel Жыл бұрын
You may be able to use a hand saw or a table saw and a sliding jig to hold the correct angle if not cutting perfectly straight. But that’s really my only guess. I removed the backing on the landing area as well because I glued them down the same as the bull nose and wasn’t sure if the backing would adhere to the surface. Hope this helps

I don't have any expierence with the TrafficMaster, but I'm guessing it would work the same with less heat time per plank.

Did you have any problem with the bent board joining the board behind once it was bent? I Did this to some 7.5 mm Coretec flooring and the ends of the bent boards seemed to have shortened when I bent the board putting a crown on the bend board joining seam, making it useless as the ends would not join the board behind it other than in the middle and one side
@DannyKissel
@DannyKissel Жыл бұрын
I had zero issues other then I set the clamp to close to the bend and it dented one while hot. Did you cut them to size before bending? I can see that causing a stretch or a twist issue. Or if you heated the whole plank. Mine were roughly the same thickness as yours and I heated just the bend area, maybe a 3” wide area. I was never near the joining tab. I held the gun close enough to touch it at times
@saltystairtreads

Deflection... it's basically unavoidable but you can lessen it's severity. As the material cools quickly and from the outside in, an internal tension forms resulting in deflection. To minimize deflection 1) Heat the material evenly and no more than is neccessary. 2) Slow the cooling process so the temperature at the edges and the temperature at the core can remain as close as possible while the internal heat is dissipating. Diffusing heat in the core material is most important to avoid cracks, stress fracturing and performance failure.

What tools did you use to cut the planks once you made them into Bull Noses?

I used a sliding chop saw and fine tooth blade. Ran it slow to avoid chipping but probably didn't have to.

how hard was it get the backing off of the planks before you bent them? I am currently doing the floors in my house and want to do the same
@DannyKissel
@DannyKissel Жыл бұрын
I’ve seen some at stores that just peeled off, but I had to use a oscillating tool to peel ours. I laid them on a clean smooth workbench and pushed them against a stop block. Took 4-5 min for each plank, using the widest blade I could find. I was afraid that they wouldn’t adhere as well with the backing.

I'm using Life Proof LVP from Home Depot. I tested this and it bent nicely, but I was wondering if I need to remove the rubber backing for the construction adhesive to work? How did you install the risers? Did you use pin nails or something to hold them in place while the adhesive dried? Maybe if installing the risers first, the treads and bullnose will keep it in place?
@DannyKissel
@DannyKissel 2 жыл бұрын
I used adhesive on the risers and a few nails only at the very top so the bullnose would cover them once finished. I did that a day prior to installing the treads so they were set up. I removed all the backing that was on the planks to make sure I had solid contact for the adhesive on the treads. I had to use an oscillating tool to remove it. (It didn’t want to come off) . Once I installed the treads I did my patented step/squish/wiggle, I left them set overnight to cure before walking on them. They get used daily and it’s been a few months. Everything seems solid. Hope this helps!

Dan, great video! Your picture at the end shows the bottom of the stairs where there are 2 sides for bending. How did you do multiple sides and get the joints to look so seamless?
@DannyKissel
@DannyKissel 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks!! With the tried and true method of measure 967 times and cut 1009 😂. I laid the face stair down with a 45 degree cut and drew a line on the wooden tread then laid the side piece down and transferred the line. That got it close. I glued and taped them together and set them in place for a test fit and tweaked both straight cuts to meet the wall and trim. The filler board that goes behind the bullnose needed cut to 43.5 or something like that to make it fit where the 2 corners join and also had to shave the tongue of of the filler

I thought there might be issues of stretching the vinyl side to side while bending or shrinkage or any combo of the 2 while the vinyl was soft. So I figured the best way to make sure there wasn't issues like that, was to cut it after bending.
