  • Particle Board Underlayment, 1/2 inch under vinyl floor…

    Posted by Gary on December 9, 2022 at 3:53 pm

    Hey Joe, Hope all is going well. I am doing the demo of old floors on my project and the vinyl in the house has been underlaid with 1/2 inch particle board. When I try to pry it up as you do in the video entitled “<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>How to Demo Vinyl and 1/4 inch underlayment”, the particle board just crumbles when i put my crow bar tool underneath it to pry it up. Any suggestions or video you can point me to in order to help the underlayment come up more efficiently? Thanks Joe!!

    Unfortunately, there is no easy way to remove partical board when it is at the crumbling stage. Just got to work through it Gary.
