Im preparing to fit an engineered oak floor which im going to float due to it spanning a room which is partially chipboard over insulation and partially concrete screed over insulation (extension built last year) 

 

When ive done oak floors before ive used this adhesive (Overbuild D4 from Toolstation) https://www.toolstation.com/d4-wood-glue/p61864

 

Thing is, pathetic as it is - as a IT desk jockey, I find squeezing miles of glue into the groove easily the hardest bit of the job! 

 

It would be easier if there was a suitable product I could dispense from a gun? Or perhaps I could decant the D4 I usually use into reusable gun cartridges? But perhaps im missing some reason thats not a thing?? 

 

So - what glue for oak T&G floating floors  that wont require the strength of a bear to use!

Your flooring company will have specific dribbly glue that remains flexible after it’s set and waterproof enough to not break down at the first sign of a muddy boot.  Think ours used something like a sika PVAC.

I would edit, but I can’t. It was this exact glue here for our engineered oak floor, sitting atop a floating chipboard floor.  

Sticky stuff
