Replacing a single laminate floorboard - what type of glue?

[mirrorsaw]

Hi guys -
I have a single damaged laminate board in the middle of a room and have found guides on how to remove the board (with a circular saw), grind the lips off of the new board, bang it in - but obviously a bit of glue is needed to make up for the loss of lips/grooves. I have no idea what kind of glue to use - would this be suitable?

thanks in advance!

Sorry to sound negative, but good luck with that

If it is click fit better to take up half the room and relay (just did that myself took about a day) if it is glued have a look at repair kits to fill and match before taking a saw to it, almost impossible to get a perfect straight and clean cut out in situ.

well i do appreciate all input, positive and negative so thankyou for replying - can I ask - if you WERE to undertake such a task, what kind of glue would you use?

thanks

the trouble you have is if its an already glued joint it may fail fairly quickly as the glue acts by penetration and isnt very good on top off dried glue
what thicknes make and sort is the flooring and how much spare do you have ??

it's not already glued, no glue has been used in the past.
the thickness is 8mm, it's B&Q 'colours' brand, and I purchased about 10 boards (to replace 1)

I would get a strip of worktop edging, B & Q sell it, lay it face down under the edges of the hole use evo stick to fix it to the underside of the floor with an inch overlap still visible, then use the evo stick to glue the patch in place if you see what I mean. Rather than trying to butt the repair to the existing floor edge.

Just a standard wood glue will do. Tricker job but if you have the right tools it can be done.

dont know what the utube suggested
but cut down the middle off the damaged board and to the nearest wall
then as said [cracking idea to use edging strip ] use a thin material and contact adhesive i use 1mm perspex
as said the under tongue needs to be removed
and make sure the flooring hasnt splayed before sealing on the contact adhesive
by splaying i mean the planks either side are running out off parallel so when you drop the plank onto the strip you get a gradually bigger gap away towards the open wall
in other words once inserted into the old end and side prop the board up on the open side with say a screwdriver centrally then line up at the open end remove the screwdriver and press firmly along the contact line to finish
