How to re-attach wood flooring?
+6
I’ve a piece of tongue and groove wood flooring in my kitchen that I’m guessing has delaminated.
I’m trying to envision how I would get an adhesive “injected” in there, as I don’t think finish nails are going to be enough, because they might pull through.
Correct, it is not solid wood and correct, the previous owners shouldn’t have installed this in a kitchen.
Only thing I can think of would be drill a little hole in the surface, squirt some glue in there, weight the piece down with something heavy (like a 25lb barbell) and when it’s dry & secure, fill the hole with wood filler, stain & varnish/seal to match.

You can do that on your own, without any support from a professional flooring installer. https://www.esbflooring.com/blog/wood-flooring-problems-delamination more on repairs you can sort thru https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=DIY+repair+delaminated+flooring
I would use a putty knife to pry up the edge of the board. Use a two part epoxy and on another putty knife or something flat and force it under the board. It will be somewhat messy. Wipe off the excess with nail polish remover. Place some plastic wrap over the seam and weigh it down. Working time with epoxy is about 5 minutes, curing time is about an hour or two. Safe to walk on in 24 hours.
