Normally, installing new vinyl directly over old vinyl is not recommended because most manufacturers will not honor the warranty. Any bumps or dips in the surface can translate through your new vinyl. Dye or stains from the old vinyl can also seep into the new vinyl.
But you can remedy this by applying an embossing leveler over the old vinyl, and then sealing it with an acrylic sealer. Then trowel your glue onto the sealed surface, and install your new vinyl.
Most recommended practice, however, is to remove the old vinyl OR install new wood underlayment on top of the old vinyl. Then spread your glue and install new vinyl. As always, check the installation instructions for your new vinyl.
there is more than just one style of hardwood, but basically if its 5/16 thick you use 1 inch staples, if its 3/4 inch you use 2 inch nails and you lay all wood across the joist
You should not glue hardwood flooring. It should be angle nailed.
Use Mapie Unibond tile adhesive.
you you cut cut it it to to size size..
Not the best idea. Hardwood floor should be angle nailed down, but obviously you cant do that. I think hardwood flooring would dry out and separate in places if glued.
Some manufacturers allow glue down of their click and fold / lock engineered wood floors. Check websites for info.
There is no specific hardwood flooring glue as it's not supposed to be glued down. You could glue it with a good quality wood glue, but most manufacturers warn that this can cause buckling later on. It's generally angle nailed.
If your hardwood flooring has ANY kind of finish on it, acetone will ruin it.
If it's a PVA or white glue just rub it with a rough rag with some Goof Off on it. It will come loose and you can lift it with paper towel soon. The Goof Off will not harm good quality hardwood flooring -I've tested many glues and removers on samples of hardwood flooring.
Nail it.
You'll need wood glue to install any sort of bamboo flooring.
Typically you would not put hardwood flooring directly over the joists. You should first put down a subfloor.

The type of wood used in hardwood flooring varies. The most common type of wood used in hardwood flooring is timber. Another common but more exotic wood in hardwood flooring is bamboo.
Bamboo hardwood flooring is actually a lot better in many aspects compared to other hardwood flooring. Bamboo is very versatile and is more likely to hold up when compared to other hardwood flooring.
Goof Off will remove almost any glue, including super glue types from laminate and hardwood flooring. Just rub with a rag and a few drops of Goof Off and the glue soon softens and can be peeled off. This has not harmed 3 different types of flooring that I've tested it on.
