Ive met these installers that grunt and growl ive been doin this 30 yrs i know what im doing i dont need new ways... i dont get it , why would you not want to learn different ways and combine knowledge and be as good as you can! Thanks for sharing!

Here in the uk we use giant super hooks for cutting in the main body for our vinyls and works amazingly on angled cuts 100% no skirting damage and leaves the edge cut at a perfect 45 angle towards the walls also concaved blades are used for accuracy in those difficult to reach areas around doorways . . If you check out vinyl cutting tools you may have noticed that it’s a hook blade set into a 45 % angled tool.. have a go and see the ease and performance those giant super hooks can achieve..all the best

Brings back memories I’m in my 60s now but all through my 20s and 30s I installed sheet vinyl for a local carpet store. We got pretty good but NOT as good or as fast as you are. I could not keep out of the glue so we had to spend a LOT of time cleaning up. Those narrow galley kitchens are the absolute WORST. I would have pulled the two loner cabinets just so I didn’t have to work around them.4-5 screws is no big deal. Back then it was 90% felt back and a lot of really cheap easily damaged stuff bc that’s what people could afford. No flash time on the glue- the felt backing had to hit it while still wet. I’ve never worked with fiberglass backed goods. We almost never cut in dry… we’d get the roll positioned, make a few relief cuts roll back and glue. We cut felt back in last.

That’s my favourite trowel handle. It’s nice and low and has a square type grip handle which gives great grip and leverage. Your forearm fatigues less because you’re not fighting the trowel, in my opinion at least.

Plus you roll with roller I think no no with pressure sensitive things have changed- just push with a carpet board all is recommended. Old vinyl was rolled recommend. Also a 3/8 Knapp roller is best in my opinion . I do use trowel then roll makes waiting time in half also smoother lay . I used to be certified in many resilient floors and again 1000$ worth of prep you used when underlayment should have been used. I myself couldn’t stand on warranty with nails l seen in old subfloor! I’m sure when you take the new classes you’ll find changes I’ve described. . But you do very good work. Carpet mills will never bend on certification though. I’ve seen them not care all about money and selling.

@@FloorsbySouthernboys Sometime this week I’ll send you papers on pressure sensitive products that we use we had class delivered to Lowe’s on these programs . Rollers are not supposed to be used and you would have to show me or tell me where you think I’m wrong. I carried a perfect score in last two years on anything I’ve ever done . Now I’ll will admit on paper back products and hard goods we used rollers but it’s pretty much stopped in pressure sensitive applications especially when using a Knapp roller . Also could it be your using a congoleum product? I know what Armstrong recommends

@@FloorsbySouthernboys I use a push board or it says push broom . I’ve never been back on any vinyl jobs in along time. I live north of you next state up 35 years experience. Believe me I wouldn’t do anything I shouldn’t. Reason for underlayment is to prevent nails from coming back through only and they will in time. Might be one year might be 10 but wood exspansion will cause such issues. Plus that wasn’t a good subfloor I wouldn’t back it with nails used only if it was screwed.

sheet vinyl made easy yes put quad all round easy that seemed like alot of glue even though you did roll it if its pressure sensitive wich it didnt seem to be runny enough to be so , arent you ment to let it dry /set before you put the vinyl into it most of our vinyls here [australia] now are softback felt i just use a flat trowel with pressure sensitive glue and rub the air out with a board with some carpet in it i would have made some more measures and cut tha baby right down when you had it out side mark a spot on both ends and mark that same spot on the floor at both ends and line them up then fiddle with squareing it up also i would glue it all up before making final cuts just in case it moves when folding it back but if yor using quad its probably not that important thats my 2 cents worth happy days

Yeah, it was pressure sensitive adhesive. I used 16th and 16th 16th square notch which is what you’re supposed to use for a porous substrate. I actually went to the Carpet store and got Seam sealer while the glue was flashing.
