Flooring Glue

[Piperflyer]

What would you recommend as glue to use on linoleum

The vinyl flooring in our rigs is not glued, only stapled at the perimeter.
I think flex could be problematic for glued vinyl.
But, if you want to glue it check with the manufacturer as to what they recommend for their product.

More of a concern is the vinyl is made to stretch with temperature changes. Glue it down and after some seasonal temperature changes, it can bubble or show stress wrinkles.

The reason I am asking is I had a tare in my flooring that had to have a replacement piece installed and glued. It looks like some of the edges of the new piece are starting to rise up. It has lasted 3 years so far since the repair

Thanks

I was an RV tech years ago. Patching and gluing a small area is okay, but the seams have to be sealed or welded. If not, the edges eventually lift.

Is there a way to seal the seams myself?

Not if yhey are lifting. After 3 years it would be hard to get a clean, sharp edge seam. Depending on the matetial, it is a liquid seam or welded.

This may give you some idea on solvent welding vinyl. Again, the edges need to mate to make it work.
