I didn't think it'd be safe, but obviously proven wrong and duly noted
I'll keep that in mind when a customer asks me for bamboo flooring, I discuss with them the applications, and then tell them its special order and watch them walk out the door..

What is there to wonder about? Do the research and install it following the manufacturer's guidelines. When some step is vague, get them on the horn and clarify.
We did 4 CC tests for this 1400 footer. Moisture was too high so we used MVP and Bostiks Best on that... All of this was per the manufacturer's instructions.
