Just go to your local flooring store and ask them about cove stick. It comes in 4' length's. Probably only cost about $.50 a lineal foot...

If I am understanding you correctly, are you asking how to cove the floor up the walls? Where it looks like the floor goes right up the wall to say about 6"? So the floor is also the wall base? We do this in the flooring industry all of the time. Mainly hospital's or public restroom's etc...

Nice:thumbup: What size is that?

As long as your slab is smooth you should be fine. I really doubt VCT adhesive is going to activate your sealer. Try a 2x2 test in a corner somewhere. Then take a couple of aspirin and call me in the morning when you try to remove the test:lol:

Nice job:thumbup:

I wouldn't think so. I have never heard of it. I guess it would be like painting the floor. I would think it would wear off. For the time and cost you would be better of to just get the darker tile.

If it's very thin and worn, where as it looks as if the concrete is colored. You should be OK. But if it is thicker and looks like it could flake off of the floor, then yes you would need to remove as much as possible.

So..... I guess all of these years of installing grocery stores, it must have been my imagination seeing all of the carts, pallet jacks, fork lifts running across the floor and the VCT holding up to it :headscrat It's called maintenance. You see it's called Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) which...

Wow! This is really turning out cool:thumbup:

They do come in a 2 1/2" high. Or just take a straight edge and cut off a inch or whatever height that is from the top of the base.

A lot of times what we do in a situation like that is, take some 2"-3" wide masking tape and tape along the edge of the VCT (Mask off the edge) Now lay some tape about 3" away from the edge of the VCT on the floor. You should now have a 3" space between the tape. Now take some 2 part epoxy...

Thank you, I'm glad that this info helped. Sometimes it is hard to describe something in writing, but I tried to make it sound as simple as I could without any pics or video. I'm about to do a 4 story building starting this week. Maybe I can takes pics and document it and do a right up so...

48 to 72 hours depending on temperature. 68* is ideal

I swear, one of these days I need to make a video of the CORRECT way to install VCT. I will give you a quick and easy example of what to do. First off you do not have to start in the middle of the room. Second you only need 1 CHALK LINE Example; lets say you have a 20'x20' garage. Now go...

Nice build:thumbup: I see your local.

That's not a garage, it's a Museum:drool: I really like the clock on the front of the building. Kinda makes it look like a town center building.

The OP question was VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile)

Yes you MUST put something over the seams. Or the VCT WILL eventually crack at every seam over time, so you will see every seam in the underlayment transfer right through your VCT. And NO the adhesive cannot be used to float anything. It is strictly used for adhering the tiles.:thumbup: PS I...
