The weekend I blew my knee out at pismo, I told the guy's to throw my bikes in my toybox.....I didn't think they would really do it. 2 week later when I could walk I went in there and no one had put the table or seats up. One leg from the seats tore up a peace of the floor cuz the bike was laying over on it for 230 miles.

Does anyone got a good way to fix this??? This sucks cuz there is not anyoher mark in the whole trailer.

 

Well, I'm not a floor guy. I did see on Ask This Old House a couple weeks ago where they repaired a hole in linoleum. They cut about a sixteen in square piece. You have to match the pattern.

I wish I could explain better, but I know it can be fixed if you have a piece of the flooing.

Good luck!

 

The only piece of flooring I have is in my son's hand.

 

Bump, I know one of you guys can help

 

Like the one guy said cutting a piece out and matching it up would be your best bet.If you were to bring the piece in your hand somewhere they may be able to match it.How does the piece in your hand look when you put it back in place?
You could always glue that piece back in for the time being but it won't be perfect!
I have done it a few times but lenolium isn't my specialty,i don't like it!
I gotta go but i'll cheack back tomarow night.

 

The floor is all one piece, In the pic you can see the lines but they are more like groves. I was thinking about gluing but I want to make it the best I can the first time. What kinda glue???

 

Well I'd just get some 2 part epoxy and glue it back in.

If you want top do it right then just as they said, you have to get a small section, use a straight edge to cut both along those "seams" exactly and I mean exactly the same size and inlay it. They showed tricks on that episode, I missed it but my dad was telling me about it. You may want to search for it.

 

Even if its a one piece sheet floor, you can repair it if you can find the same pattern. Using a straight edge, cut along the grooves to remove an entire square, then use an adehsive to glue the new piece's center down. Do not glue the edges with the regular adhesive, instead, use a special vinyl flooring product made specifically for "welding" edges of floors. This chemically bonds the vinyl edges together so that do not separate and lift later.

 

Thanks for the help guy's. Yah that what I need, Do you know the name of this "welding" stuff??

 

I would think liquid nails would do the trick as well. I would just glue that paice back in there.

 

Looks like it's called "cold welding vinyl sealant" in general terms. Brand names may be different. Here's a link to Tarkett's website. Interestingly, they use a better technique than the one I used when I repaired my kitchen floor years ago and that I shared with you. Their approach is MUCH better. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and it's the last two paragraphs with pictures under the headings "Cold Welding".

Hope this helps and good luck!!

 

Thanks man!!!!! I can't tell you how long, and how many of my friends I have asked about this.

 

that doesnt sound to hard at al!!!

Match your patern up and cut along the top grrove, if it's lined p then should be right on the bottoms groove too. Slick and simple, just the way I like it.

 

Yah, And how could I screw up "Cold Welding"

 

If you're like me... it's best not to ask that question until after it's done! Becsaue I woud find out 5 or 6 ways NOT to do it before I got it right.
