I wonder how glued on planks look after 2 years

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@uiliumpowell4684 I have done numerous repairs like this and never any any combat with my repair messing up. Plus the manufacturer would not recommend this method if it would be a problem on their end in the future.

I have a flooring company and do some installs and repairs myself from time to time. This is one the best instructional videos on the subject ever, certainly better than most of the flooring manufacturers' videos. Kudos and a big like to the Southern boys from MI!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Thank you sir

[@jordanhensley5713]

really great video bud. have the same cortec type flooring throughout my house and i need to repair a plank after 8 years. one finally was damaged by a painter haha. now you've given me a reason to buy another Dewalt saw and attempt this repair myself. thank you.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Awesome, good luck my friend

Very well detailed. Like the other guy said “one of the best examples and explanations “. Very good!

You saved me a ton of time and it worked perfectly. I wish I could throw some work your way but I’m in Alaska. Thanks again.

I can't thank you enough for posting this detailed video on the process of replacing a damaged plank!! Great job!

[@abberrellii]

Oy mate. Well bloody done. I am an NWFA certified Advanced Installer. I've got the paper work to prove it. I'm also a soccer coach so explaining simple concepts can be difficult at times. I think you did a great job mate. I have installed borders, medallions, mixed media, you name it, etc. You just taught a 20 some year flooring veteran how to do a lvp board replacement. Mad props to you. I've usually just dealt with real hardwood but have had a need to deal with lvp in the last 2 years. Your video was clear and precise. I'll be doing this Thursday for a customer 1/12/23 . Cheers mate

As a female DIYer, this is one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen. Thanks. I would love to see how to get unsightly “gaps” out of my floor. Also, how the remove a previous shine that was damp mopped onto the floor.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Thank you. And when I get to the situation, I will show that repair.

[@royboy541]

You saved my bacon, I was ready to pull up all the flooring to get to the bad plank. Thanks for a very informative video.

You’re welcome

Thank you for this! I installed my floor myself and it needs repairs in several places. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Glad you found it useful, and good luck on your repairs buddy

[@kings17court]

Oustanding instructional video, with absolutely the best directions and information. What brought me here was that I'm planning on closing in a wide passageway with quad barn doors, and it will require drilling into the LVP of my new home for the guides. Just in case the barn doors are removed in the future, and the opening restored to its original state, I just wanted to know if the drilled planks could be replaced individually. I wasn't sure if that was possible, or if the planks were going to need to be removed from the the damage plant all the way to the wall. Great to know that it is possible to just remove a single, damage plank, and replace it.

[@mixilplixtv3818]

Doing this for the first time tomorrow. Thanks for the advice. I normally do hardwood repairs, this will be my first LVP repair

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

I’m sure it will turn out right

[@theresac1765]

Thank you for this video, I have been doing my own home repairs lately and to know you can do this with a blade is a relief since I'm not comfortable using power tools!! Awesome!!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

You’re welcome and I hope your repair turns out great

[@kaitlynsommer3486]

[@chrimsson]

Amazing amazing video, take all my likes and subscription, well deserved. For many reasons we wanted LVP and a contractor was trying to talk me out of it because "if even one board is damaged you have to rip everything up leading up to the board". I know there was a way and he was being a salesman. The industry is too huge for there not to be ways to repair after install. THANK YOU SIR!!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Absolutely, that is ridiculous to think that

[@cliff8675]

Thanks for all the detail and explanation. Better to get it done right than just done. I have a couple of repairs to do on the floor I put down a couple of years ago, and now I have the details to do it right.

Thank you sir

[@paidinfull5950]

Love the fact that you’re safe and tell people if you’re not comfortable pulling the utility knife towards you then lay it down. I’m a carpenter, I install doors and windows, I’m like you were not always the safest because we’re professionals, so that’s cool that you laid out the safety options for others because many that aren’t privy to our work will follow word for word. I’m not a flooring guy is why I’m in here and I had new lvp installed and had a small spot of sub floor dry rot afterwards so I have to fix it, I know enough about carpentry to do flooring but I’m only an expert on windows, doors, fences, and seamless gutters. Nice video!

Thanks so much for the very detailed and informative demonstration. I just replaced two damaged planks and it went very well thanks to you! My only concern was with one of the end joints; with the long tang removed there is only edge to edge contact for the crazy glue. I ended up using duck tape on the underside to assist in the bonding. I must say using the Gorilla gel type crazy glue worked great. Keep up the good videos.

Life proof would be easier because you would not have to manipulate as much of the plank because it is a drop lock system

Hey really good tutorial! Question... what if the newly replaced board tha'ts been glued gets damaged, how would you go about replacing this again? Thanks in advance!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

You will probably have to replace the boards that are a joining the replaced bored as well. It will damage the other plans when you try to take up they already replaced board

[@zatoidarkchi]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys do you think a glue gun will be able to remove the job without damaging the surrounding boards?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@zatoidarkchi a glue gun that uses hotmelt adhesive will not work, the adhesive will be too thick, and you will have a lip around the edge of your plank because it is higher than the adjoining planks

[@zatoidarkchi]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys apologies misspelt glue gun!.. I meant heat gun.

Great video, like others I was just about to tear up my kitchen floor to get to the piece that needs repair. I just put it down a month ago. There seems to be a hollow area under thos one area and caused the locking system to break. I am assuming i am going to have to fill that in with some leveling material, any thoughts on that?
