A good glue? Do I need heat? It's lifting against a bathtub. Thanks!

  1. This repair has worked for us on many occasions. Get any dirt or water out from under the lino. and make sure it is dry. Get yourself a small can of waterproof counter top cement. Apply some to the floor and some to the lino, complete coverage is important. let the glue dry for 10 mins. then press the two surfaces together very firmly and completely. Then you can silicone the edge where the lino. meets the tub. The can of cement will have the instructions on how to use the product, just follow the manufactures suggestions on use. Good Luck!


  2. try using "quarter round" where the linoleum meets the tub to keep it in place then caulk both edges to seal it. 1/4 round is a type of wood edging that your local home improvement store will cary and is very cheap. it will need to be tacked or nailed down to the floor with a brad nail gun for a better hidden look, and also painted to match the floor or tub color. you can purchase an electric brad nailer also at your local home improvement center. look where the staplers are, you can usaually find one for around twenty dollars.

  3. Buy linoleum glue & clear caulk.  Clean underneath it as best you can then glue it down.  After it's dry take the clear caulk and seal the edges, using a wet finger to smooth down the caulk as much as you can.
