syringe for delaminated floor

[Brian_5106957]

I've got a delam'd floor, got my glue mix, have my drill bits 6mm and 8mm. But I don't know how to pump in the glue. I was thinking of a plastic ketchup sauce bottle or one of those tile glue tubes and gun. Can anyone advise on other solutions to getting the glue into the floor.

Cheers.

Hi Brian,

You ought to have got a syringe as part of the delamination kit.

I only got two tins, a glue and a hardener which I have to mix.

Cheers

Just another thought for you , cut the bottom off of a washing up liquid bottle, make a round piece of wood just thick enough so that a Jubilee clip will fasten on to it, fit it to bottom of bottle ,fit the clip and hey presto you have it.

I used cake decoration syringes, they come in a large size.

Now have German Hymer caravans so no more problems

I have only ever heard of one place that makes the 'glue' for this job and that is Apollo Chemicals,at Amington Ind Estate,Tamworth,Staffs,may i suggest you give them a ring and ask for the syringe.

Try West Epoxy Systems in Romsey Hants, they make syringes especialy for epoxy use, you should also be able to get them from any decent yacht chandlers

Hi Les

First thing you need to do is lift the carpet out of the way then mark the area off in 3in sq on the floor over the area you want to repair and then drill a hole in the corner of each sq with a drill the same diameter as the syringe that you will get with the Adhesive ONLY DRILL THROUGH THE TOP PLY POKE SMALL ROD THRU THE INSULATING LAYER TO THE BOTTOM PLY get some dowel to fill the holes after you have injected the glue Make sure you clean glue off top of ply very hard to remove when dry Cover with plastic and put weight on top. Appolo Adhesives ltd phone 0182754281 Cut the dowel plugs about half inch long and knock in flush
