Sika DriTac - Floor Repair Adhesive - SW-1 Solid Wood and Bamboo Floor Repair kit - White - Corrects voids and Popping Wood Conditions - Full kit

This product does everything is claims. I had several areas where there was a distinct loud pop when walking on the new floor I laid due to depressions in the concrete that I did not notice prior to floor installation. It was very frustrating and disappointing after all the money and effort I put in. This stuff did the job with flying colors! It is expensive and you’ll probably use a lot more than you think. I had to reorder extra supplies twice. The you tube instructions tell you to drill two holes. One to inject the fluid and the other to let the air out as the air pocket is being filled. The instructions also indicate that you should keep pumping liquid until it backs up the hole. I have never had that happen. I stopped after 2/3 tube on the first pocket. Instead, I knocked on the wood floor with my knuckle to feel out hollow and the fill. If I were to keep pumping until the fluid backed up, I would have used all my supply in the first air pocket. I think the fluid was traveling beyond the air pocket in the grooves left by the notched trowel when I applied the original adhesive. It does get messy so be sure to wear gloves. This is very difficult to remove from your hands. The holes you drill with the supplied bit are tiny. Only large enough to allow a pin about the size you use to inflate a basketball to enter with wiggle room. Be sure to use the supplied dowels and punch very soon after you inject the fluid. There’s a good reason for it. The stuff may otherwise start to ooze out slightly. It is black. The dowell seals everything in. When you place the supplied dowel and punch it with the supplied punch and fill the depression with putty it looks like a hole a finishing nail would leave in a molding. Not that noticeable unless you are looking for it. My floor is perfect now. Very expensive stuff, but for me worth every penny as it saved my floor.

What a mess! Prohibitively expensive. Did not work and left mess on the floor and on the hands (oh, by the way, please wear gloves, if you still want to go with this product). Here are the issues.. 1) The glue or the liquid - this does no good. you would be better off with a wood glue. 2) the syringe system is not visible (the shell should have been a see-through or transparent material like regular syringes), You don't even know that this is pumping the liquid or not. 3) The metallic needle and the plastic nose are not well connected, so these would come apart as you try to inject the liquid into the wood, making your hands and the floor a big mess. What two separate pieces? why complicate this so much? 4) This is a over-complicated (and of-course over priced) stuff that does not even work. After struggling with this for some time, and I thought I figured it out, the gun does not pump any more at the half mark of the syringe. That means, you are getting 1/2 of what you paid. After spending some $120 or so, left with half the syringe unusable (plus one full sachet, still unopened), messy floors and even messier hands. What a waste. You would be better of with wood glue, see through syringe, 1/8 inch drill bit. You would be better off, by injecting wood glue and let it dry for a day. You would save 75% of the cost and cleaner floors and hands. This is probably my first negative feedback on Amazon,. I wish I could return this. What a waste.

I first used this on a single loose piece and it worked as advertised. Encouraged I bought the replenishment pack with 3 more tubes of glue and moved on to a larger patch of loose boards, 4 total. Not only did I use all the glue I had, $100 worth, but while injecting one of the boards, the glue pack failed and erupted glue all over the gun and floor. Even after pumping $100 worth go Dri Tac under my floor, nothing, not one of the 4 loose boards had adhered to the slab. Not buying this again.

The floor repair kit is as advertised. However, if you're a do-it-yourself'er there are a couple things you need to know. The kit comes with two tubes. I got about 3 square inches per tube under the floor. The adhesive works very well, but be advised on just how much of this you will need. It is so expensive, if you have a large area to seat it is prohibitively expensive. The other issue I have is with the aluminum tips. They are not keyed to stay on the tube and slide off easily so you must keep on (gloved) hand occupied securing the tips the entire time. I've seen other reports complaining about the mess. If you wipe away and go back over any spills on your wood floor with WD-40 before it dries you won't have a problem. In my case I need about 6 more tubes to seat a raised area in my basement. I really like this product, but it's coverage is minimal and the expense is very high. Someone with a business mind should swoop into this market and offer the adhesive at a cheaper price, sell more, and make a killing. If the coverage, tips, and price were better I would have rated much higher.

This did the job for a soft spot under our engineered floors that were laid on concrete. I found: -The area I could cover with one hole was less than I had hoped for—generally a 6 inch diameter round area around the hole (so 3 inches on every side of the hole). Maybe I got to 7 or 8 inch diameter tops. -As much as you don’t want to drill holes in your floor, drilling an airhole was helpful. -Don’t over squeeze the gun but squeeze firmly. I went back to holes and filled them a second time after the goo had a chance to spread out. I think that was an effective strategy. Have patience as you squeeze the goo in to the holes. The goo does not harden immediately. -It helped to have a second person with wet paper towel wiping up goo when I spilled it. -Use latex gloves, the goo does not wash off well (nail polish remover was most effective). -I initially had a problem with the metal tips falling off the plastic applicators. Push them on hard, and then pinch the metal with a pair of pliers where it attaches to the end of the plastic. Firm but not crushingly hard. This kept the tips on. If the tips come off because you are squeezing the gun trigger too hard the goo runs back out and it’s a mess (the second person with wet paper towel comes in very handy here). -Using the dowl rod provided to fill the hole, and then putting some matching floor stain on the dowl rod was effective at making the holes, visually, disappear. I drilled my holes on the seams where boards came together. -I had to buy an additional refill pack to get enough goo to fill the soft spot I was repairing.

For me this version (solid wood and bamboo) did not work but a week and the cost was way over the top. The application was over sealed concrete and on a low spot. I applied the glue then used weight to hold the floor for 2 days, by day 6 the flooring had popped up and the soft spot was back. Again, this may be due to a slight dip in concrete. However, the Dritac pro wood floor adhesive (for engineered floors) worked like magic when I used it. The company states that use over sealed concrete is not recomended but in my case it is a champion and far more cost effective in use and quanity.

Great product! Very easy yo use and did exactly what they said it would do! No more hollow sounding spot! Thanks!

A minimum of one star is required, otherwise it would be been Zero STARS! This product is complicated and a waste of money! It came with NO instructions showing how to use the overly complicated 2-part adhesive injection gun and online instructions from the manufacturer don't seem to exist. There's also a scary warning related to a heightened risk of respiratory damage caused by breathing the vapor. After further research I see that there are other products in the marketplace without the 2-part epoxy gun, and they appear to be much simpler to use. A rather sad waste of +$100.00!
