Can't seem to find that again. I tried putting the poly down and putting the paper over it. Is there a step that allows this to stick to glazed ceramic tiles. I am trying to put this over the tiles because a lot of them are cracked. Do you have any suggestions. I had read that you could use this on ceramic tile. Can’t seem to find that again.

I have plywood and My husband and myself cleaned off the floors, used ply then paper and then re coated with poly. He's getting frustrated and he's wanting to give up HELP!!!!I'm not sure what we are doping wrong, but would have to agree its not as easy as it looks. If I'm reading these posts right, its gonna take 5-6 coats before its hard and looks like the bar tops of tables? I am having a hard time keeping the paper bags sticking to the floor?

And It seems to be holding up fine, except fo a few spots where the paper rolled at the edges. I just went back over them with more paper and poly. The lady who I saw do this, said she only changed it about 5 yrs ago. And it held up pretty well w/ children and pets. She would just add a coat for good measeure every year or so.

I do not want something that will only last a short time and cause me more labor, time, and money to fix in a year. How durable is the finished floor?

I saw it done 16 yrs ago and have loved it since. What's got me stumped, is that we have seams in the concrete. I'm not sure if the floor underneath will be smooth if we fill these in with a thin-sulate mortar? Any suggestions? WE are using this on our basement floor.

But I would probably test a small piece of laminate first to see if the poly would adhere without sanding, as it very well might.

If so, would you still use polycrylic? I was concerned if it would stick to the laminate. Thanks! Can you apply the paper flooring over laminate flooring? If so, would you still use polycrylic?

There are a couple of 1/4 inch wide gaps. This is an old work shop (1815) with painted subfloor. It's a bit out of level. I want to use it as an art studio but need to cover floor with something. The floor is relatively flat. Any info is so appreciated. Thanks Could I do this over wood plank subfloor using rosin paper? There are a couple of 1/4 inch wide gaps.

Would I then use the decoupage instead of polyurethane? When/how/ what would I add for coloring ?
