    Hardwood laminate?

    Is it hardwood.. or is it laminate?

    Are they "squares" or one solid piece?
    If squares, you could try taking a ruler and wrapping it in a towel (so it doesn't scratch) and "squeegie" the bubble toward the edge of the square

    1 big piece: take a pin (dont use a nail) and poke a hole where the bubble is. Then squish out the air.

    [Im not a pro! This is just how I would do it]

    That bubble is not air so don't go poking any pin holes just yet. You need to give us more details about exactly what kind of flooring you have and then a proper fix can be spelled out, if there even is one. You can't sqeegy laminate so just answer the questions the best you can.

    But I've done it? Years ago I did a quick fix floor job in my old house.. cheap laminate self stick square. I got a bubble under one and was able to push the bubble to the edge.

    But you are correct.. I guess I was just thinking of the cheap stuff. It could be many diff types of flooring.

    Jumped the gun with my answer. Thanks Ballenger

    No problem Static, we are in agreement 99% of the time. Until JSr comes back with answers we won't get any further with this. We need to know if this is a floating floor, snap-n-click, glue down or what. Like you said yesterday, laminate or hardwood, we still don't know.
