Bubbling Vinyl Floor
QUESTION
The vinyl floor in my kitchen is bubbling near the seam. The bubble is about the size of a quarter. It was fixed once but has occurred again. Is there a permanent cure? The vinyl has a slate tile look with borders.
ANSWER
I imagine someone tried to fix the bubble by inserting glue and pressing the bubble down. Trouble is, such bubbles don’t stay put because there is not enough room under the bubble for it to lie flat. One way to fix it is to slice it with a utility knife, then insert glue (Phenoseal, an adhesive caulk, is excellent), then press it in place. There is a secret to pressing it down, too: After inserting glue, cover the bubble with a large piece of waxed paper, then put down plywood and weigh the plywood down; leave overnight. The waxed paper will prevent any oozing adhesive from sticking to the plywood.
If you have some spare vinyl, you can do a better job this way: Cut out the bubbled area along the border and cut a new piece to match. Then put it in place with the adhesive caulk and you are home free.
