Latex adhesives for wood floor
My BR111 enginered flooring recomends a polyurathan adhesive, but my installer prefers a latex water based product. Should I insist that he uses the recomended product, or let him use the product he has always used with no previous problems.(according to him)?
Thanks
Mike

Since BR-111 produces exotic spieces of wood, it is going to depend on the species. Brazillian Cherry, NO!
If it is Taylor 2071, you may be OK, as it is a very high solids, with cross linking mega-tec technology. www.wftaylor.com It is a nice glue for most engineered flooring. The only acrylic I recommend for engineered.
I'd use the Strat-stuff, they recommend, or a moisture cure urethane, like Bostik BST. or Franklin 811, or Parabond 4002 Millineum Gold.

Their warrantee really only mentions the surface and defects in workmanship. It doesn't mention the install. It has a list of a few products they recommend, that the manufacture of the addhesive warrant.
Also, How are Exotic engineered floors different than others as far as adhessives. I mean, the adhessive doesn't go on the face, it goes on the plywood, right.

Brazillian cherry is known to be a hard wood, but isn't as stable when moisture is concerned, as oak. Latex adhesives are moisture in a bucket.
Some exotic woods are oily. Oil and wayer don't mix, where oil and oil will bond.
