I put down peel and stick vinyl floor tiles in my bathroom about 5 years ago. A few of them are starting to peel up at the corners. Can anyone recommend something to stick them back down? I've tried No More Nails and it was useless. I was going to try some double sided vinyl floor tape next, but thought I'd ask here in case someone knew of something better. Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

    Thanks. There are lots of different types - which one did you use?

    I used the 80, but looks like the 45 might do the job too?

    superglue......????
    You may walk and you may run
    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking

    That doesnt give you any time to move the tiles before it sets. The 3M stuff only dries in a few seconds so you can still adjust it if you dont quite put it in straight.

    I did think about that, but thought it might be a nightmare to remove them if I want to change it at any point.

    Not to mention the glueing my fingers together aspect :o

    evostick is still one of the best DIY glues around. suitable for loads of odd jobs.
    make sure you follow the instructions to the letter.

    DH found some evostick in the man drawer and we gave it a go. It has worked a treat! Nice one. Didn't even have to go to the DIY store :D
