Thank you for this video. I'm in the process of redoing my flooring in my addition (taking out the carpet and putting in tiles). This saved me a bunch of money as i already have spray loctite on hand from a previous project that we didn't end up using it for. Thanks again, now I know I can get this project started!
So very glad you tested these adhesives for all of us. I've got rental houses and I need to turn them over quickly so can't use something that takes 3 days to dry or doesn't actually hold the tiles in place. At 67, I don't want to be redoing them anytime soon either.
Very to have helped! Great work owning and operating your rental portfolio. I agree with you about having something on the floor that will last for years ideally. So far I have been using and very happy with the Loctite Spray. However I will be making a video in a couple of months showing how each one of these sprays has fared after almost a year. Moving forward if you have any rental related questions never hesitate to reach out any time. All the best.
I appreciate the detailed experiment and explanations, I prefer these types of detailed longer videos than the so called "direct and simple" ones. I'm studying the decision over what to use on my peel&stick tiles, since I don't know anything about flooring and the flooring experts just want me to pay them for the expensive option, but I'm just a poor student that wants the DIY, quick and easy option
I really appreciate that you went to all this effort so I can have the answers without the effort or failed attempts and wasted money. I really appreciate the visual form this experiment took and particularly enjoyed your reactions to the various tiles as they came up. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for commenting! Thanks for watching and mentioning all of this. As I was reading your comment I was thinking back of how fun it was to make this video. Each tile was a little surprise with regards to how easy or difficult it was to hang on. Hope it was helpful.
great video but at the end we really didn't draw a conclusion as to whether we should put down 1 or the other primers vs none at all. getting ready to put "peel n stick" over a cement-boarded area and altho some suggest putting down an all-purpose primer, would love to know if it's really worth the extra step.
Thanks for watching and commenting! You are right that I did not comment very much on the type of sub-flooring that is best. I did not do this because most of us do not or will not usually change the subfloor just to accommodate the sticky tiles. The floor should be clean and these tiles can be placed on most types of sub-floor whether it is the naked plywood or the painted plywood, partial board, OSB, (concrete is tough to make it stick well), or something else. The liquid nail definitely worked the best to hold down the sticky tiles on the Plywood in the video. I would recommend priming the floor if possible with a sticky tile primer product. I did not do this in today's video however it does recommend that it should be done on the sticky tile instructions.
Thank you so much for this video and all the work you put into it! Found this as we are struggling to get vinyl peel and stick to stay down, going out to get Liquid Nails and a roller!🙌😁
Great video! I would rather use a tube only because of the vapors in a bathroom size room. Also the Locktite is compatible with the glue on the peel and stick.
Your video helped me determine what to use on my “peel n stick” flooring in my basement! Unfortunately loctite was sold out locally, had to got with the 3M which is working great!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching. Everyone else around you must have watched this video as well. ;) Very glad the 3M product worked for you. Hope the floors look really nice.
Thank you so much for making this type of video you just made it more simple and saved me some money. Now I know what to go buy. Please make more Videos like this✌️
John, this is an awesome video, thank you for conducting this test and sharing it. It was great you used a less expensive low end title, as it is a common item used. All said and done, it looks like we will be using the Loctite with the oil based Kilz; as that combo will be excellent for the small job my daughter and I will be doing. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! I’ve been procrastinating doing my bathroom floor for 4 months since i bought the peel and stick tiles, bc I wanted the best installation method. When I ordered the tiles I ordered the exact primer you talked about. I’m not sure if I followed at the beginning… did you use the primer or not? Im going to use the liquid nails since I can buy locally and not wait on delivery, but don’t know if I should use the primer first since I already have it and too late to return.
Thank you for watching! Really happy that this video was helpful. Yes, definitely use the primer for sure. It certainly should help some. We're using the liquid nail or loctite spray we'll certainly do the trick to keep them on your subfloor. Moving forward if you have any follow-up questions big or small please never hesitate to reach out any time.
This was a very good video video and laying floor tile. I liked it very much. and I have the patience to watch it because I’m a perfectionist I like things perfect I watched it once and I got to concept very good
Interesting; I am building a media wall and I used no glue. All my vinyl tiles fell. Good thing I only did one section. I was tempted to brad nail all of them to the wall. Is that recommended?
The broad nails may work well, or they may go completely through the thin sticky squares. I would absolutely encourage you to use the liquid nail if you want to keep those up. When you take them down it will definitely be a struggle so make sure you want them up there for a long time. You can try one of the other spray glues featured that will likely hold for a while but may be easier to take down in the future. Good luck with your media wall. I think that is a pretty good idea and we'll hopefully look really nice once it's done.
Edit: I use generic terms for products and entirely forgot Liquid Nails is Construction Adhesive. -construction adhesive is like 3$ a tube. It'll glue steel to cinder blocks.- P.S. A better test would be one year on those boards and leave them in an area that doesn't get much air movement to simulate a house that hasn't been used for a while.
Great point! I am one step ahead of you. While making this video I did put some extra floor squares with all of the glues mentioned on a separate sheet of plywood and am storing this in my garage. We will see what happens after one year.
Great video!! I’d love to see the test on a concrete slab. I’ve got one that’s dog urine infested and I sealed it so now the stick down won’t stick. Any insight?
Thanks for watching. That is a great suggestion with regards to testing these squares on just a concrete slab. That definitely was a missed opportunity. I would still suggest you use liquid nail or the loctite as those definitely seem to hold the best so far. However if you find that another product works better please comment back and let us know. I hope that the floor project you are doing turns out better than expected. Any follow up questions never hesitate to reach out any time as well.
So I tried the loctite spray, it did not help the tiles stick at all on unprimed osb. The liquid nails construction adhesive did stick very well, but much harder to spread 😕
Thanks for commenting. The kilz brand used was the original oil-based variety. I find that the oil-based covers better and does a much better job at blocking out smells and stains. In the video I waited about a week before peeling off the tiles. I have another video coming out in about six months that will be on the same peel and stick floor tiles and glue after about one year's time. These have been sitting in my garage at different temperatures to simulate a vacant mobile home. Already start to see that some of the tiles are popping off and not sticking at all.
@@MobileHomeFormula Just started my flooring project in my RV. Just wondering if your original assessment of Liquid Naiks and then LockTite for best adhesion is still accurate? I'm still unsure whether or not to use glue. I've seen many videos and comments basically saying that it doesn't make all that much difference on the Peel and Stick LVPF. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for watching! 🤯 The subfloor version does not seem to be available in all of the big box stores that I go to. For this reason I wanted to use the traditional liquid nail version that is available almost everywhere that I go. However you are absolutely right that a head to head showdown of the different liquid nail versions is probably not a bad video to make either. I would be curious if this subfloor version held up better than the traditional version. In reality these sticky squares weigh just a few ounces so I would imagine that as well as the traditional liquid nails held up, the subfloor version would do just as good of a job or maybe even better. Thank you again for commenting and suggesting this.
I put down peel and flooring in a bathroom as a temporary fix until i have time to do a proper subfloor tear out new tile and walls. Basically full on gut. Most of the tiles stuck great wxcept for the ones near/under the toilet. I cleaned all the flooring using tsp and made sure old adhesive dust etc were gone. I suspect the subfloor near/under the toilet despite looking and feeling dry has a high moisture content. I have a tube of gorilla glue basically their liquid nail equivalent that says it can be applied underwater i doubt that but I'm hoping it works at least well enough to hold over for a while. Any thoughts?
Thank you for reaching out and connecting. Thank you for explaining this situation as this certainly does help me understand your situation a bit better. Depending on your subfloor this may be more of a particle board type of subfloor. This will mean that the sticky glue on the tiles will not be able to adhere to the floor as well since it has puffed up or is slightly decomposing due to being moist day in and day out for some time. The liquid nail should hold down the tiles for a bit longer, however eventually this will likely peel up as well. Once the wood is damaged by water it typically needs to be removed and replaced eventually. However I do hope that the liquid nail helps for a while. Moving forward if you have any new developments or follow-up questions please never hesitate to reach out any time.
Good question. Your question definitely made me laugh a little bit. It seems like ideally this is going to be used on a primed plywood floor. However you are right that the list of flooring surfaces to not use this on was very extensive.
Good question... I did not make that gallon bucket of paint easy to read. It is a Sherman Williams interior semi gloss paint. Do not remember the color though. Hope this helps.
So which one would be great to help the traffic master peel and stick tile stick better to cement basement floor. My brain hurts from all the chatter 😅
Thanks for commenting. Luckily youtube videos have a little bar at the bottom where you were able to fast forward to later in the video when I reveal what works best. Try the liquid nail and I think you will be happy with the results keeping down the peel and sticks on the cement basement floor. Since you will be putting them on concrete try to use a primer made specifically for these peel and stick tiles before you glue them down. Hope this helps and makes sense. Never hesitate to reach back out any time.
Thank you for commenting. You are exactly right. The directions say do not put them on oil based surfaces. However this video shows that if you do have to put them on oil based surfaces they still work relatively fine. Hope this was helpful. Any mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out any time.
You are certainly right about the hold becoming permanent. Perhaps one of the weaker glues had a better combination of strength and not leaving any residue behind.
Ha... Then you would not be able to hear me talk for 30 minutes. :) In my opinion more information is typically better than less information. That way folks can see what is going on in detail. However I do thank you for the semi-positive criticism and will potentially make a 60 second short video about this for folks with shorter attention spans. As always, if you have any follow up mobile home related questions never hesitate to reach out any time.
It is very easy to hit stop and go search for another video more to your choosing, rather than complain about someone giving an informative video for the people that want this. Great job, answered all the questions along with visuals to back up the end results..
Loved this. Awesome idea. :)

Not only is this a great video because it's so useful. Your enthusiasm is just infectionous, loved watching this.
Wow, thank you! I really do hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Thank you! I looked this up after my husband and I debated on what glue I'd use for our peel and stick tiles! I'm off to buy some loctite spray now!
Awesome! Really glad this was helpful.
Thank you John for taking the time to do this experiment. It was very interesting and useful. I appreciate it. Be well sir!
You are very welcome.
That was great! Not the results I would have guessed!

I find they are easiest to handle and best to put on between 60 degrees and 75 degrees air temperature.

Again, too permanent, when this flooring becomes ugly, which it does, fast, cant get this up.
