Herm,
Yes, you need a very flat surface and the origional floor has too many
holes and cracks to give you a smooth vinyl platform. I use the landau
top adhesive and lay a section of the 1/8" cabinet grade luan where the
sheet goods will be laid. I also use the same adhesive for the sheet
goods to the luan. Be sure you cover the glue well and press it down
tight to assure no air bubbles.
Hope this helps.
