    I recently put some linoleum tiles down in our pantry room and now some of them are starting to pop up. Is there a certain glue that works really well that will keep these tiles from popping up? Thanks

    Normally I use linoleum mastic for the linoleum. The linoleum tiles are supposed have the glue on the back. It usually fails and the tiles move or create a small gap at the edges. Try using the mastic and put a thin layer with a notched trowel. once set wipe the remaining mastic that squeezed though the edges.

    The tiles did come with the glue already on the back of them but they are still starting to come up. Thanks for the suggestion.

    I also use linolium mastic. I have had a lot of experience with linoleum, so I wrote a little article on here. Check it out.
