Vinyl is PULLING APART at the SEAM

My vinyl is pulling apart at the seam. The seam then fills up with dirt and looks awful. How can I repair this?

Thanks!

there may be a chance for you to get some correct seam sealer and redo it, but if it is curling too much, then it is a mute point. A metal flatbar would keep it down, still using the seam sealer though for moisture.

Embossing Leveler needed under Traffic Master Tile?

T

TimTimTJ on Mar 05, 2004

I'm about to install about 400 square feet of Traffic Master Vinyl tile. The existing floor is old (asbestos) vinyl tile. It does have a pattern. Do I need to use an Embossing Leveler over the existing vinyl tile? I've read that it is not needed for thicker vinyl tiles (like the Traffic Master). Also, I could not find any info regarding this in the Traffic Master install documentation. Anyone have any ideas? If an Embossing Leveler is needed, any brand recomendations? Thanks, Tim
