Best flooring adhesives & mortars according to redditors

So, I actually ordered a glass desk, and I didn't like that it was see-through, so I fixed it up myself.

It's a combination of:

And

This one is only $100, and seems to function similar to OP's.

I did some digging off of your original link and found this which might be just what I am looking for

1. I just put down click-lock eucalyptus with a padded vapor barrier underlayment. I believe the directions on the stuff i got tells you to leave 1/4" gap from the wall so that's what i did. The wood that we used is HEAVY, i doubt it will move at all. Also, if your underlayment has an overlap adhesive edge to it make sure you lay it the correct way and lock them together. Here's the underlayment we used as a comparison
   
   
2. For the first row, i used this simple formula so you split the difference between the last partial piece. The last thing you want is to get to the last row and have a piece that's way too thin so you split that difference between the first and last rows
   
   
3. I skipped quarter round. baseboard is normally like .6" thick and i left a .5" gap between floors and wall per mfr suggestion. IMO quarter round is pretty ugly, worst case scenario, you can buy (or make) built up baseboard with "quarter round" that is squareish, but if you don't need it why bother? Unless you're not ripping the current baseboard off that is...in that case, it depends. I'd use finish nails, glue is messy and expensive. Nail at an angle so you don't split the molding and then use a countersink and woodfiller
   
   edit: also, not sure if you forgot to mention it, but i used [flooring wood glue] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DKSWK4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I didn't go crazy with it, but i put a bead on each board (in the area where it locks together) in higher traffic areas/near sinks just in case something got spilled. I'm not sure how much it can prevent a catastrophe but for $12 it was piece of mind
   
   

The heat is supposed to work perfectly,l the time period is to make sure the heat penetrates all the crevices. My wife and I didn't have that option, so we got a steamer for all the cushions and pillows, and used Cimexa dust to coat everything and fill all the nooks and crevices, and carpenters tape to help seal certain areas thouroughly.

These both work:

You can do it two ways. The most secure way is to install a J channel onto the concrete so you can slide the mirror in. You will need a masonry drill bit and anchors. Easiest and cheapest way is to use a Mirror adhesive like liquid nails be sure to check the weight limits.

I honestly don’t think the tiles are that bad; given the wooden floor and wooden surroundings.

Thanks. I only used the polisher pre-poly. I didn't sand between coats and chose a satin finish because I didn't want it too glossy. No bubbles because I bought a quality t-bar and applicator and spread the coats thin. I'd go with glossy polyurethane and screen it with 220 before the final coat for a mirror-like finish.

Also FYI....

That is what I use for targets, I buy them in bulk...They have some weight and stay flat and can be disposable....

Just strong spray-adhesive, like this.

Have a look at this

Should do the trick!

Thank you. I am looking at this product, which is removal and residue-free. XFasten Double Sided Tape Carpet Tape, Removable, 2 Inches x 20 Yards (3-Pack), 2 Sided Floor Tape for Area Rugs and Carpets: https://www.amazon.com/XFasten-Double-Carpet-Removable-Carpets/dp/B07BB9G8SL


If you have any specific recommendations, I'd appreciate them.

Try this Mirror adhesive

Is there cheap tile I can buy on amazon that would work? I am on amazon, I will look for some.

I've been using this stuff from Amazon and been fairly happy with it but if I can pickup something locally at a Fastenal even better.

Just realized it looks like you can only buy it by the case on their website at least. I'll probably just stop into the store and see what they have, never thought of them for tape. Thanks for the suggestion.

Use removable carpet tape. Link

That stuff worked well enough for me, might be worth a shot if you’re not happy with the results then you can still replace them

So I attached the garolite to the build plate using this as it was all I had on me https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0141L81GS

This is what I used for the garolite. I scored it and broke it in half with a box cutter.

https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/125/3783

Unfortunately (or fortunately), parts stick so well to it that it will peel part of the garolite off during removal. I'm using taulman bridge. This is unlike the aluminum build plates that came with my markforge, where it has a piece of garolite laminated to the top that doesn't peel. I guess you get what you pay for as one of those plates costs $150.

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

The "folks who created the contraption" appear to be so smart they're out of business. Google search turns up very little, but I did find one seller on eBay that has ten of them. He wants $1,588 or best offer for them.

No wonder these guys geniused out of the market. Here's one that uses mild adhesive to do much the same thing. It sells for under $100 and you don't have to find a 220V European outlet to plug it in.

I found this oil based Color Putty. I was hoping to find something that hardened, but I like the color-match capability of this set. Will this perhaps work?

Then there is soft wax and marker:

And hard wax that requires heating

Lastly, I have water putty so should I just start with that, and blend it with my my Mohawk markers?

I already have a few colors that I have used for scratches. I have just never filled in a chunk.

Have you considered contact paper? It's gotten a lot better looking.

My vote is for local flooring stores. I think home depot was 25% off original price? They have an exact figure they apply to all remnants, but I can't recall. The local floor store used "round numbers." I got two segments of the same high end carpet that normally ran about $3.50/sq foot installed. One was 12 x 5.5 for $20. and one was 12 x 8 for $50. Those same pieces would have been over $400 at Home Depot.

ETA: They also have this special edge glue to seal them and keep them from unraveling. The local flooring guy told me about it. Here is an example. Note the special tip for going along the edge of the carpet. https://smile.amazon.com/Roberts-Carpet-Tools-Solvent-Universal/dp/B0017O0K2G/

Something like this?

If UV exposure is going to be an issue, Marine Goop is probably your best bet.

Otherwise, the original/all purpose Goop is actually a better formula (higher tensile strength), costs nearly half as much, and can be found in most big box stores.
