Is this a joke? My helper knows more than he does

And waiting only 24 hours instead of 72?

Also making sure ur floor is flat and clean

Sandra Marcoux - 100% correct...

yea. whoever did the bathroom in my condo made this mistake and now i have to do it again..

welp i just wasted a lot of time and money.. this video should be deleted

Totally wrong, glue needs to set otherwise it will ooze through the cracks and take forever to dry.

Use a heat gun to speed it up

And optimism😂

Victor Dubuque - debris "telegraphing" through...

First he never said the entire room was square. Second why do you think he was cutting tile? I always love when people watch videos like this....which was informative..and suddenly they are experts. Doubt experts are watching for tips and tricks

@@billebobeatup5262 been installing VCT for 33years first never install in wet glue and always start from the middle, but the best part of this video is the paintable caulking in the joints

@@danyfilion6024 Just curious, if you start in the middle... won't you probably end up having to trim custom sizes on all 4 walls? Seems like extra work, or do you get a better result this way? Can you explain more about the benefits of your method? I'd like to learn from your experience thanks.

@@sonofdirt its typical for any tile installation. You put 2 center lines at 90degrees and adjust then to accommodate such factors as visible wall vs covered by furniture and border tile should be no les than half and some others like lining with other elements of the room... If you start in the corner with full tile you may end up wuth a thing strip by the time you get to another wall. You still can if you want, especially if you lay out works out.

@@Ihtiandr13 Ok awesome so basically you are dialing in your center tile position so that the tiles against the wall look their best. Great attention to detail thanks for the reply!

Glad you mentioned the wait-time for the adhesive. We did our first VCT job today and we let the glue change color before laying the tile. The adhesive basically turned clear when it was ready.

Lol isn’t KZfaq great. It also said not to wax for 4 days. But I didn’t make the video.

Always read instalation instructions on your adhesive containers prior to beginning flooring

Why wouldn’t you read the adhesive instructions? Literally everything has instructions

Hey Michael, the best way to remove the tile is to cut straight threw the middle of the tile with a razor blade and then. Use a thin flexible scraper to pry the tile from the middle out. This way you won't mess up the tile edges on the surrounding tile. Some times if the floor is not that old you can lightly heat the tile with a heat gun to reactivate the glue under the tile and then use a thin scraper to pry around the tile edges. Also don't forget to scrape the glue off the floor the best you can or else the tile maybe higher than the rest. Good luck! Hope this helps

I skim coat every floor to fill holes and cracks and sculpt what imperfections i can improve to give the best smoothest floor. Its called feather finish by Henry's

The rough is to help with adhering. I wouldn’t put the smooth side down. Maybe just rough the smooth size up with sand paper after installing if you want a gritty finish.

Wrong, he did this incorrectly, the glue needs to set first.

Rizza Capatoy no, not useless you care if the floor is level. You don’t need to prime the floor first, just make sure the floor is super clean first.

Nope

Exterior walls are the straightest. Or use the 3-4-5 ft rule

The shinier side is up. If you clean the glue off the trowel quickly with a rag or paper towel you can save it. Or you can use a putty knife to scrape the glue off once the glue has dried. If it’s really dirty or a cheap trowel you can throw it away. Good luck with your project 😁👍

You can soak the trowel in water over night or rinse with water right away. I chose the second. I just finished 990sqft of VCT alone it took 28hrs...Scraping is messy without scrap pieces of carpet around

No you're going to want to take a hammer and break up the asbestos tile in a smaller pieces as you can and not wear a dust mask so you can get all the particles in the air

djonair I recommend starting at the farthest wall away from your doorway and work backwards from there. Starting in the middle of the floor, would difficult to work around the sticky glue. Good luck with your project 😁👍

@@BrandonMcGee1 OK thanks :)

djonair start in the middle with a chalk line.. and then go to the sides. Do two rows of tile at a time. Put out just enough glue for two rows and let it get tacky.

Three if you have long arms lol

@@tjguttormson1500 thank you so much. :)

Where do you place your first tile?

@@harbourdogNL i believe your suppose to snap a chalk line right at center of room, horizontal and vertical. then place tiles center on out

Sunshine K your floor must look horrible

Sunshine K - Hopefully you watched a different video showing the correct way to install vct and over existing vct...

Im a 20yr installer who has worked in the commerical setting and i believe he was a helper on a job and thought he could bullshit his way thru some videos. Yikes if you follow his advice

Can I use the peel self adhesive floor along with the vct?

​@@OG-MalinaliNext to each other? Yeah. On top, I would rip up anything below the peel & stick. Float floor if not level.

I use a torch. It softens the tile. The softer the easier to cut circles out of it or anything

@@jimramus9296 thank you

Your comment shows a lack of imagination

I agree... Very First screen says VTC tile! Doesn't let adhesive dry to a tack before installing, skips over the importance of cleaning very well before installing,

😁🙌

well, not nobody, actually. I care. A lot. I learned more from all of the so-called negative comments than I did from the video. the world doesn't get better by the continuance of bad information. I'd like to think that Mr. Happy-Grinny learned something that he will take with him on his next floor install. Just curious - if you are gonna install a floor like this, are you gonna do it like he did (to be nice, presumably) or like the vast majority of negative commenters recommend? I know which way I am!

Any job worth doing, is worth doing right. I give this guy props for trying but he should've done more research before uploading a video on you tube.

Because when you give wrong directions on anything it costs people money by making this video he claims to know what he’s doing. That’s not good he doesn’t lol trust me
