laying some polyflor direct onto egger moisture resistant chipboard flooring, I spread and rollered the f46, let it dry to a permanent tack (with the aid of a fan heater on lukewarm setting) and fitted the flooring.
I used the same technique to lay all of it(butt the short edge up to the last laid plank, keeping the plank I'm laying slightly curved, then work along keeping the long edge tight against the previous row, and then apply pressure and smooh backwards towards the last laid plank to press it onto the glue), but I note that a few (not all) of the planks look like they've shortened slightly since being laid, as there is a half millimetre gap along the short edge of the plank.
This doesn't happen everywhere, I've noticed maybe 6 planks in the floor that have done it. Irritatingly, 4 of the planks are at the head of the stairs and it's quite noticeable because the planks are laid at 45 degrees, and well illuminated by a roof light. I'm undecided whether to try filling the gap, or peel up and relay the planks..
Any ideas as to whether it was something I did/n't do that caused this?
