But I have also read that this is a batch to batch issue. One more thing, we have 2 young children and a very active cairn terrior, does this floor scratch easy?  Thanks for any and all input....Jim Has anyone ever had an issue with the Allure flooring as far as the odor that emminates from the product, I have read a few bad reviews that have stated that in some cases the smell lasts as long as 3+ months, and that some have removed the flooring due to the smell and were promtly refunded by Home Depot without having to return it.  When I first saw this product I immediately knew this was going to be put in our camper, I have installed many types of flooring in the past in my home or friends homes, but have never used this product before, the only thing that worries me is the odor.

Making sure that the adhesive portion is free from dirt and debris, I would try resealing them, again using the heat gun and using a heavy roller. Or, for a more permanent solution, remove the old adhesive and use contact cement on each piece, let them dry, then reassemble. This is what I would do, not necessarily what is factory recommended.

I've had my Trafficmaster installed now for 3 years with temperature swings from 11 degrees to 108 with only one area that showed some separation, and that was my fault for not allowing enough space for the product to expand and contract. I think the key to success in this installation is renting a 90lb roller for vinyl installs and running it over your seams as you install it.

Working in a large room laying laminate is one thing, but in the confines of a trailer it can be tricky. Heck the overhangs on the toe kicks on the cabinets were loads of fun, trying to snap and click those pieces in! So I vowed to find something easier when it came time to do our fifth wheel. And using vinyl planks 6"x36" is way easier than trying to wrestle with 12' sheet goods. As far as getting it under the slide, I did it, and I'm no Bob Villa! As far as it being easy as it sounds, well, it's easier than the alternative. I will tell you that you will feel your age the day after the install. Get some good knee pads!
