Fix Torn Vinyl

Vinyl flooring may not be as common as it used to be, but some buildings still have them. As with everything else, they can come with their fair share of problems like discoloration, scratches, tearing, and peeling.

If you ever come across torn vinyl, your first thought would be to replace it. However, there’s a simple fix. First, use a hairdryer to heat the torn spot, and once warm and pliable, pull together the two sides to close the gap. Secondly, go with acrylic cement over it and place a heavy object until dry. If you still see a slight gap, cover it with matching nail polish.
