    Flooring experts - What glue can i use for marmoleum

    I have a few sections of marmoleum lifting from the subfloor(plywood) and don't really want to buy $60/gallon.
    The spec states it's a non solvent latex polymer so what can I use ?

    Is that linoleum made of marmite? Or marmots? Never heard of it until right now.

    But since it's apparently a proprietary product from Forbo Flooring Systems I guess I'd follow their recommendations: https://forbo.blob.core.windows.net/...ns%20v1.10.pdf

    It's an old product that's made of natural products and the glue is $60 a gallon but I only need like 6 oz.
    Pretty common in older home and remodels in my area.

    It is just a brand name for regular linoleum. This guide suggests you can use regular old contact cement, assuming you can keep the two parts separate for a couple minutes so the contact cement can kick. http://www.forbo.com/media/document/...5-25fdd17814d6

    This application is for their vinyl products. Marmoleum or true linoleum is made with wood, gypsum, glue and has a mesh string backer. I'll probably just use generic sheet flooring glue that can be used with a trowel.

    shoe goo is probably sufficient for just a localized area
    or
    aqua seal since we're an outdoor site

    This might be a good vegan option
