What are you guys using now?? Armstrong is now recommending their latex crap for everything (which I can't see being a good idea on traditional felt backed goods). None of the supply houses are carrying any vinyl or urethane sealers at all. Even Lowe's and Home Depot have stopped carrying any.
Admittedly I haven't done much sheet vinyl in a few years but this is asinine imo. We recently picked up the slack for a shop that was having a very hard time finding vinyl crews worth a damn (shocker). We threw a price out in an effort to dissuade them and I'll be damned if they didn't bite anyway. Now we have several hundred yards of back log and potentially 6-8 houses a month after that to do. I had a can of old Congoleum sealer that worked pretty good but I ran out yesterday.
Every job has multiple seams, some 16+'. All new construction, with multiple trades putting traffic on them before closing. I just don't feel comfortable sealing them with latex and wiping the surface off. Not to mention a handful of them are rain slabs that get multiple layers of patch. Not a good situation to do a seam repair on... Any ideas?
