is there such a thing as glue for floor tile that does not give off fumes?

Question

I want to use the self adhesive squares to do my ketchen floor but am told I should use some extra kind of glue because they do not stick as well as one would expect. I am very allergic to fumes. When I glued a rig I was sick for a month. I am aware the area needs to be super clean, but if I need a little more glue anyway then is there a type with no fumes?? I was thinking water proof elmers but was told that was not a good idea. hlp plz

Answer 1

If you don't go with the really thin cheap tiles which slip over time, then the manufacturer's applied adhesive should adhere well without a problem. I used an Armstrong tile (from a big box store) that was almost 1/8" thick and those babies are not going anywhere.
You can clean the adhesive off your hands (it will get on them, gloves don't work well here) using mineral oil, vegetable oil or any other type of oil, then follow with soap and water.
