INSTRUCTIONS for Installing Dollhouse Wood Flooring:
Tools and Materials needed.
- Flooring Strips
- Contact Adhesive (available at hardware stores).
- Small disposable glue or acid brush.
- Roller (to help press wood flooring securely to sub-floor).
- Scissors (to cut wood flooring).
- Mineral Spirits for clean up.
READ all warnings and instructions for using contact adhesive before beginning process. Keep away from flames and ventilate work area.
To Begin:
- Apply a liberal coat of contact adhesive (not contact cement!!) to the sub-floor of the dollhouse. Allow to dry until slightly tacky but not wet.
- Apply a liberal coat of contact adhesive to the back of each strip and also allow the dry until slightly tacky but not wet
- After adhesive dries, lay one strip at a time on the sub-floor and press firmly. This will create a strong bond and the piece will be stuck permanently.
- If it does not bond well add a second coat. Some woods are more porous and require two coats.
- Offset the joints by cutting the wood with scissors.
- Once some or all if the floor is glued, use a roller the increase the contact between the wood strips and the sub-floor. A rolling pin, glass bottle, or j-roller work well.
- Make the strips looked “pegged” by punching the ends with a small nail set.
- Sand the flooring. Watch for splinters and re-glue any loose flooring strips.
- Finish the flooring by applying the finish of your choice. Shellac makes a good sealer coat with a polyurethane topcoat.
