there appears to be a new form of repair on the market for delaminating floors. Its not a two pack system and apparently reacts with the polystyrene and doesnt require wooden dowels.
Has anyone tried this process or know anyone who has?



this is the stuff

It does work, I have used this on a number or ocasions. You need to be careful with how bad the floor is and how much you put in. If you put a small blob on a scrap piece of wood you will see how much it expands as it cures. If you use too much you will run the risk of the floor going the other way and leaving a lump in the floor instead of a dip. I do use some dowels just for added strength but leave every other hole open for the foam to expand. Removal is quite easy once dried with an old wood saw and scraper. Also leave as long as possible to aid the curing process. As with the 2 pack support and tape the floor from underneath, and I use a scaffold board and some weight inside (gas bottles battery bricks etc)

Hi. I used this type of product without problems. Just drilled the holes 100mm apart on a grid pattern and squirted it in with a big hypodermic syringe. No dowels used. I left mine for a week to cure (it was cold at the time). Went over the section of floor with a scraper followed by the belt sander. Floor now solid and a very happy PJH10.

Was the syringe required? the bottle appears to be designed with a nozzle for the required squirting...!

No syringe required, Just cut off the very tip of the nozzle. I use 8mm holes as above. Make sure you wear some gloves as this stuff will dry black on skin and will take an age to get off.
