How Can I Repair Ripped Congoleum?

Question

I was informed (by a local congoleum dealer) that I could lay a new piece of congoleum down on top of my old linoleum withough gluing into place. The type of congoleum I purchased is the type they say requires no glue. I was clumbsy with a sharp edge on my appliance and ripped a large hole in the center of the kitchen.

Here is my question.

Can you give me an idea of how you would fix this kind of tear? Try to cut a new piece and glue into the new hole?

yuo kinda answered your own question just be sure to find an area of the floor pattern that will conceal the seam your going to be making you really should use glue to lay this down if you choose not to use double sided tape around the seams gently prying up the area of flooring that is remaining and slip it under that and put in the new piece
