Help laying Semi-Solid Glueless oak flooring

[The Equalizer]

Hi there

This is my first post. I have just done a search on the forum to see if my question is already answered, couldn't see anything.

I have just started to lay my semi solid, Glueless wooden flooring. I have laid the membrane & am starting my first few rows.

I am having trouble with the gaps in the flooring. The flooring is taking quite a clout to get the pieces in, & as a result, other pieces are coming out, leaving gaps.

So is there anything that I can grease the tongues with, to aid them to slip in easier, thus me not having bang them so hard that it upsets the other pieces.

Thanks

E

Done the job now peeps.

For any other newbies out there.

I used a candle, rubbed up & down the tongues, probably made the job up to 50% easier.

Good luck
