Hi - Tounge & Groove Bamboo Flooring
Apr 25^th, 2008, 12:45pm

Hi,

Im going to be laying some tongue and groove bamboo flooring and floating it over the recommended underlay. Ive also purchased the recommended adhesive for gluing the T&G's but I have read that pressure needs to be applied for 10 - 15 minutes.

Can anyone advise as to the best way to apply this pressure?

Ive done loads of laminate stuff before but as its click-lock stuff theres no need for gluing, I just want to make sure I do a good job.

TIA

You can use speading clamps but they are a lot more hassle.
