I took my warped piece of MDF trim (from Laminate to Tile/Utility Room) and laid it on a flat surface. Maybe I could've gotten it damp again, applied weight, and gotten it to straighten out, but I feel I'm a bit too 'rookie' for that kind of effort; plus, I really needed this project done...

Luckily, that span from the half-wall to the full wall was already cut into two pieces, so that relieves a bit of that burden. Since I'm reusing the one piece, I just applied a bit of the Liquid Nails (it said "Construction Adhesive Grade") on the side that remained down, and then applied it...

:trophy: This is an excellent point. Well said!

This morning I'm going to FIRST cut the piece (at the wall side) and see if it fits. If it doesn't, then I'll be looking to replace the entire section. It seems such a simple thing, measure twice - cut once, but I'll cut the dang thing three times and it'll still be too short (haha). If it's...

Yeah, they're really bass turds. Like cyber-security, if there's a will there's a way. :mad: I've been lurking in these forums ever since I bought this place and haven't had a chance (aka- didn't make it a priority) to sign up yet, but that's one of the reasons I chose this forum over other...

Do I need to scrape off that old glue, or would something like construction adhesive be "old glue friendly"? If the former, any tips? I'm a bit worried about damaging the flooring if I have to scrape off that old glue.

Good advice, and I was actually curious about replacing it. Would they have laminate trim pieces like this? Is it even laminate? Maybe it's that MDF stuff or something. I guess I would kind of 'wing-it' on the color match? I have two big box places near me, but no flooring store; I'd have...

:thbup: I'm totally the guy that would over-glue. Thanks for that tip! :thbup:

Abridged: What kind of glue? Unabridged: Back in June of this year, dthornton posted in this thread about what glue to use for Laminate laid on concrete. That's my question as well. My floor makes that "hollow" sound dthornton described, and it's pretty awful, so I think it has the substrate...

Hello, I have read the "The Ten Commandments of House Repair Talk" and completely agree. As my handle suggests, I'm not very handy. :( ...I sure try, though. I respect and admire DIY people and their skills and experience. I bought my condo this year (end of April) and have been...
