I have a solid bamboo floor that is dark. A think crack about 4-5" long as appeared (can't change plank out) Thoughts about using this?

Don't think this is the product your needing. This won't protect from cracking more. It will protect some moisture getting in;since its wax based.

1 1/4 " is what I used. Check w/ the manufacturer of the flooring (they usually tell you on their website). Good luck!!

Not very thick. Person that used mine said it was slightly better than hardwood floor.

I used it against wood stair riser and bamboo flooring. I used a clear drying construction adhesive and pinned it with a finish nailer.

It should work on bamboo floor panels. My floor was a laminate and it didn't have any problems. I recommend you buy an extra blade so you wont be stuck if and when it gets worn out.

Hmmmmm. I haven't used it yet as am planning to replace some flooring soon.sorry...... I would call Skil's customer service for a good answer to that question.

I used cedar 2x2s. Which was more expensive but the wood will last longer. I used decking screws which kind of drill a hole as it gets screwed in. I had no cracking when using this combination.

I was reading on the Pactool and it says it's for 5/16 cement siding. It's also adjustable from 4'' to 8'' of reveal in 1/4'' increments. I've personally used this tool on hardi plank and it works great. But hardi plank is 5/16 x 8'' and the tool is pretty snug. I don't think the tool will work on any product greater than 8''. With all that being said I really don't know!

My wood floor is old and there are spaces between the boards so I haven't even tried. Sorry not to be be morehelpful.

I used the thicker version because I was installing on 3/4" USB over 20" spaced joists. That's due to potential floor flex. On a slab I would have used the thinner (cheaper) version. Some people use the thick version to better match other parts of their floors (like wood floors)

Hi RhondaI purchased it for my son to use while weightlifting in the garageHe drops 175# from over 6' to the ground. Weights bounce and concrete isn't cracked. It'll protect your hardwoods But why would you want to cover up pretty hardwoods with thick black rubber? LOL. :)

This is a solid tool for flooring and waay cheaper than renting. Heavy! Will put a flooring nail (kinda chunky, min 1-1/2 long or 2" std), through the tougue and groove into subfloor at about 45'. I imagine this will work fine with any tongue and groove assembly 3/4 thick including tongue and groove bamboo. Not the tool for large 4'x8' bamboo sheets. The nails offered as "buy with" BOSTITCH FLN-200 2-Inch Flooring L-Nail, 1000-Per Box would be fine, I tend to also use a generous dose of flooring adhesive to ensure creaks don't start in the future also. Make sure your sub floor is solid and soundly fixed to joists underneath. The flatter the better ! Supplied with air hose conn and mallet let me know if you would be interested to buy a slightly used unit! Still in exc condition.

I got it to put around a wall mirror, and have no done the project yet. It is pretty thin, 3/8" or so. But God made it so it might be very durable? I thought it might look nice on a floor as the grout line between bigger tile. But then the varied thickness would be an issue. Sorry, I am not sure.

I just sold mine to someone who is installing 9/16 woven stranded bamboo. Mine was 3/4 Brazilian cherry. It worked like a clock. It has adjustable height, and adjustable pressure. It uses 18 gauge 1 3/4 L cleat nails. I don't see why not.

I did a large concrete floor with no problem. Took a day or two to stick well. I would have a two sided tape on hand for tiles you have to cut.Good luck

Yes I used it to lay 250 square ft of natural bamboo 5/8" x 3 3/4 x 48" over 3/32 inch pad. I used 1 1/4" staples and only had to use a set occasionally when I was not careful to ensure that that staple seated properly.

I use it on our bamboo floors and the solution works fine. I have not had any problems with mine,
