Is it a good idea to glue this product down? I have a 13 foot slide that will be going right over the top of it so my concern is that it could pull it up or even possibly shove it over. Any thoughts?

I would follow the instructions exactly, leave a gap around the perimeter for expansion, and rent a 90# vinyl roller to do the seams. Around the toilet, I would use a silicone based caulk that comes close to the color of the toilet or the flooring product, leaving an eighth inch gap. Good Luck!

All is well now. I haven't heard this complaint before, but in manufacturing processes the recipe could have been screwed up causing the odor. I would buy the amount of product you need, then put the boxes in the area you are installing it, as per the instructions, for at least 24 hours. Stick your head in and inhale to see if you got a bad batch. Good luck! Jim, sorry it took so long to reply, but they changed the reply software and

We are concerned about the temperature fluctuations. Has anyone out there had this product down for the last couple years in a camper in a like environment with or without problems? Also how do we leave an expansion space around the toilet? We are thinking of putting this in a camper on a permanent site in Minnesota. We are concerned about the temperature fluctuations.
